3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20Beautiful beer - dark orange but opaque with big creamy head. Sour nose with some wheat and green apples. A little fizzy and alcoholic with green apples, lemon pledge, wheat and moderate hops in the finish. Well made, though nothing unique nor sui generis.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle @ home [as Slaapmutske Hop Collection East Kent Goldings]. Clear golden color, full sized fair to good lacing thick, dense off-white head. Don’t get a lot of aroma. Taste is lightly malty, some sourish hoppyness and sourish hopbitter. I find it hard to finish my glass actually. A disappointment.

3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle of Kent Goldings Hop Collection. Nose is milk chocolate, grass, spice and lots of yeast. Taste, is chocolate, apricot, dough, some vanilla. Finish is sticky and lasting with a bitter tang, which I never got to grips with.
A funny beer, with complex aromas and taste, but it never really came together for me, feeling like a number of disjointed tastes and smells.
