Elusive, Lord Nelson

Brewed in collab with Weird Beard by Andy Parker who's just 'gone pro' in the brewing biz. I think it made an appearance as a Weird Beard brew prior to this release? The nose off this was absolutely knock out, it filled the room after taking the cap off. I don't have my notes for this but the memory of the aroma is unforgettable - big tropical aromas rather than grape/wineous. Taste followed irrc. One of the best UK saisons in recent memory. I bought 2 of these in the end from Mr Lawrence. I sincerely hope we see this beer again. Good luck with Elusive Andy!

Mikkeller, Imperial IPA Nelson

Very pleasurable DIPA (legit IIPA with two 'I's this time at 8.9% abv). Orange and cloudy, grass, grapefruit, orange and passion fruit (what do I know?). Almost zero booze. Bloody hell, this was good. This Mikkeller, the London Fields IPA and the Siren are all cloudy (possibly unfined and/or unfiltered). I like this in my beer.
