Can from Tesco, Brooklands. Hazy pale orange. Foamy white head soon becomes predominantly a bald spot. Aroma has low key but tart citrus. Underlying damp malts. Flavourwise it's also low key. Tart bitter citrus over a drop of sweet stone fruit. Underlying hints of malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Typically limp SIPA. They've attempted to accentuate the hops but just ended up with one-noted tartness.

Hazy gold with a bubbly / frothy white head and a mellow tropical fruit salad aroma. Pretty fizzy, fruity with grapefruit bitterness, some resinous pine, a touch of chewy, grassy malt and a dry bittersweet finish.

Cloudy, golden with a hint of foam. A bit thin in body, more of a session IPA, with a hoppy, citrusy, and piney character, and a slight grassy note in the finish. Overall, it's delicate. Does this reflect the character of Megadeth's music?

440ml can from Tesco Extra in Chesterfield - cloudy gold body with no real head. A bit thin in texture, usual hoppy citrus and pine IPA character, little grassiness in the finish.
