Craft Clerkenwell. Clear amber beer, no real head. Palate is light with very moderate carbonation. Mild dry malt - light caramel. A little tangy dried fruits. Semi dry finish. Mmmmm. When I think back to 1978 and what a great single Identity was - this is a remarkably flaccid tribute! It really falls short of the brashness and inventiveness of the band. Perhaps I’m expecting too much.

Bottle from Theatre of Wine, Greenwich. Deep red/brown pour with a beige head. Raisin, orchard fruit and bonfire toffee aroma. Flavours of toffee apple, sultanas and sweet spice. Malt laden finish. Not bad.

500ml bottle - nice deep ruby body, thick white lasting head. Good malty aroma, hefty kick of dried fruit there too. The taste has a well rounded cake fruit taste to it, with a nice bitter finish. It has a meaty mouthfeel to it too. Quite impressed with this. New entry into my Top 20 ESB Hit Parade!

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange to amber with a small white head. Aroma is roasted malty and light breadish. Bitter, light fruity and toasted malty. Medium sweet and slight caramelish. Bitter and light dry finish.

Bottle 50 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours amber with a slight haze and a tiny, rough white head. Sweet, nutty and caramellish aroma. Medium body, thick caramel, a twist of licorice and some late hops. Good one. 05043

Bottle @ fonefan tasting. As Revolutions C60 Identity - XSB. Hazy reddish amber with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel, dried fruit and spicy. Flavor is medium sweet and moderate bitter. Dry and moderate bitter finish. 050413

Bottle, 6%. Clear dark amber/brown with small off-white head. Aroma is malt, caramel, little bread and toasted. Flavour is malt, caramel, toasted, medium sweet, little chocolate, hop, little nutty and a little bitter.

Bottle @ fonefan tasting. Nice head with good duration. Color is brown. Aroma and taste are rich caramel, malt, nuts and hops.

Bottle from Beer Ritz, Leeds. Red tinged pour with a tight white crown. Sweetish nose with some summer fruit evident. Flavour was similarly sweet with brown sugar, cherry and coffee notes. Dryish finish. Solid offering.

500ml. Chestnut with a loose but persistent beige foam. Allsorts and muscovado aroma. Fine malty brew with a sweet muscovado-sprinkled fig vibe. Slightly warm, oaky finish with hints of roast and prune. Silky like a dubbel. Pretty seductive, brown-sugared winter sipper.
