Acquired this direct from the brewery when they were closed. Wanted to like it more, since the owner was a nice chap.
Pours a burnished amber, quite pale at the fringes. Head is quite white, dissipates to whispy cloud with decent trail of lace. Looks alright; nothing special.
Smell is very sweet, some apple juice on there with pear and a touch of sultana. Brown sugar with a sweet fruity edge. Not bad, touch of earthiness, but mostly juicy and a bit insipid.
Taste is juicy fruity upfront again with apple and pear esters, gets slight beery grain early-mid with a touch of dirty bitterness. Quite bitter late-mid with a woody edge, touch of phenol and black tea. Retains that slight sweet fruit to the end, not bad but a simple and slightly sickly sweetness that doesn't get along well with the bitterness.
Quite thin, but not fizzy or anything. Would work quite well with a nitro-pour I think.
Not overly flavoursome, but at the same time plenty there. Fairly drinkable, if not overly delicious.

Pours a hazed bronzey amber colour, with a fine but wispy head of white, that doesn't stick to the edges of the glass very well at all. Some fine carbonation which gives the illusion of it having a pretty decent body, although the body itself looks rather fluid and thin. Eh. It doesn't look that great, to be honest.
Nose is a little grainy, but with a light carbonic character and a
touch of underfermented malt. Touch of fruity esters that don't really go at all, and minimal hoppiness. Perhaps something a little green and crisp, but it's hard to pinpoint.
Taste is a little better, because there's an upswell in husky grain
character and a rather robust finishing bitterness. Here the grain has a really pleasant classiness to it, which goes some way to mitigating the very amateurish, homebrew character of the nose. It's still quite light, and has very little body, but it's better here than I feared it would be.
Pretty average all up, but drinkable enough, and with just enough character for me to respect it. But it's not the sort of beer to excite the senses.
