5,5% abv, it's the export version. Doesn't taste like 5,5... Caramel aroma, a bit thin bodied, and a nice lingering bitterness. Rather good.

Bottled, 568 mL (or something). Amber/brown coloured, medium head. Malts, rye, some caramel, pleasant bitterness. Not really my favourite style, but this one is quite ok. Thanks to my girlfriend for bringing it from London!

Interesting - the ride from sweet to bitter is good and much like the Riggwelter I also tried recently, but not as well done. In this beer everything seems a touch too bright and finely accented, from the bold fruitiness to the herbal close. It's like the fluffy neon sign version of the other. I actually get some cheap alcohol tinge despite the mild abv.

Bottle. Goldings nose, dark amber body, off-white head with some retention. Serious caramel sweetness with Goldings notes and mild bitterness. No particular base-malt character. Drinkable, a bit boring.

From a bottle- good deep copper colour, medium head, smooth typical bitter flavour with a bitter then slightly malty finish. I’d drink a fair bit of this on tap.

Bottle -- A pale amber color. Nose of perfume with yeast. Tasted like watered down perfume. Some malt, yeast, and bread flavors. Some bitter after notes. A medium finish with a sweet middle tone.
