Kristen G.: Found this one too cold from the tap, better from the bottle after it loses some chill - the maltiness and toffee comes through more.

Highly drinkable for 8.8% very well balanced. Great beer to take a little longer and savour.

Not what I was expecting but a good sessionable beer with initial malt characteristics with a bitter finish.

Simon C.: Very true mate. It was more enjoyable once the chill faded from the tap
Simon C. is drinking an IPA by Balter Brewing Company
Not too dissimilar to the xpa with more of a piney oak taste and a quick malt finish. Enjoyable.

Having polish blood I should be an advocate for this beer but sadly it's not really that good.

Simon C.: Dunno, what is the point? What's the point of commenting on check ins making sure that they are "live"
Rob D.: Haha yeah ok champ👍 It's an honesty thing that my mates and I all agree on! I don't even know who you are 😂 Check a way🤘
Simon C.: No worries dude, have a good evening
Carl A.: To be fair, there are badges that depend on the time of day you check in. Depends how much stock you put in the badges really.
Rob D.: Fair game fellas. Half the fun is catching up on all the beers from the past. If there's beer, I'll be drinking and checking in 🍻
Simon C.: 👍

Collaboration beer with some of my fav local brewers. So good 😊. Passion fruit and pineapple aromas with a crisp bitter finish.
