A Mes rate: 50cl bottle from Kris Wines.
Very pale golden brown colour with an oily film head. Faint hops and malt with a characteristic Leek Brewery sour / infected note. Something that smells oddly of hand cream in there. Honestly. Slight sweetness and a nice spritzy palate are its most redeeming features. Other than that it’s bland as hell.

Warm copper, fine just off-white head. Day on the farm smell. Hay, flowers, a bit of barnyard dirt. Rustic and good. Flavor shows soft appealing Goldings character, clean light malt, a bit of mineral finish. Very light bodied, and the hop character takes a few sips to fully develope. This really hit the spot. Lots of nice understated character.

Bottle. Still looking golden beer with a nice fruity and dry aroma. The flavour is fruity, well hopped with a nice light dry finish. Overall an average beer.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 23 Nov) Pale amber/orange colour with small head. Fruity nose with apricots, slightly sweetish. Fruity taste with apricots and marmalade. A bit sweetish, but with a fairly nice hop taste in the finish. Goes down easy, but not really exciting.
