Gold Gluten Free (4.4% ABV, bottle)
Deep, clear gold (of course) with a white head, it has an aroma or sweet malt with a herbal note. On the palate, well, it takes pretty much like traditional Butcombe Gold to me, a great session bitter. Well balanced, with bready malt, floral bitter hops, and a hint of spice.

Goram IPA (5% ABV, bottle)
Light amber, with an off-white head that stays well, this has an inviting spicy hop aroma with some bready malt in there, too. It’s well made and beautifully balanced. The malt’s quite bready, the body full and satisfying. The hops I find quite understated, peachy with a spicy edge, all leading to a nice bitter finish Loving this!

Rattlehead IPA Zero (0.5% ABV, can, collaboration with Megadeth)
Rich amber, with a slightly off-white head that dies down quickly, it smells of hedgerows and oranges. The English IPA signals are there — maramalade and a toffee sweetness. It’s a bit thin, but really not bad at all.
