Draft thanks to Cloin: Poured a bright yellow with white fluffy head. Aroma is pungent fruit with loads guava. Taste is tart sour with more of that guava. Very fresh fruit.

Keg at the Mad Squirrel, Wycombe. Murky orange with a thin white head. Tropical fruit aroma and flavour which may or may not be papaya and guava, I'm not so good on these less common tropical fruits. Yes, there's some nice tangy lime in the moderately sour finish. Unfortunately there's also quite a bit of plastic - maybe it's meant to represent the wax in a lava lamp? Whatever it is, it's not pleasant. Didn't enjoy this one.
