330ml can delivered from the Salmon, Leicester and drunk at home. Light gold, slightly hazy, with a massive rocky white head. I mean this thing is a gusher. Grapefruit, lemon zest, boiled sweet in the aroma. Bittersweet taste, not getting a lot of flavour from it. A bit of lemon drop before the short finish. Watery body, soft carbonation. Decent if a little disappointing.

Clear orange beer, big creamy white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: that's diacetyl all right, and a lot of it... some sweet malts as well, caramel, hint of tropical fruits. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very bitter and dry start, hoppy, resinous, diacetyl is still present in the flavour as well, turning into butterscotch. All kind of things you don't want in a beer. Aftertaste: some tropical fruits shining through, citrus, bitter and fruity finish.
