Can (9/25/24) from Craft Beer Cellar, Westford. Deeply hazy yellow-orange with light sparkle, decent head with good retention and light rings lacing. Aroma is citrus, pine and pineapple, late biscuit. Taste is strong pine, pineapple rind, citrus, cantaloupe, bread. Smooth texture, average carbonation, dry, crisp finish with hint of alcohol.

Undated can drunk 10/9/22. Heavily hazy, glowing sunset orange with a large, rocky, white head showing strong retention. Heavy, slightly twangy pineapple-papaya, but clean, crisp malt and seemingly good attenuation. Some strong ester, maybe a touch of bubble gum, but no alcohol or resin. Kind of some gummy or smarty-like character on the very end. Soft and malty with good attenuation and some sour gummy, papaya, pineapple and then spicy mosaic with little/no onion. Some pine but no resin. Pretty light, well-done use of mosaic and simcoe, not that I think it adds anything. Would much rather have the tropical-citrus character of 100% Vic Secret, but whatever. Clean and with great malt depth, but I don't love the overall hop presentation.

Can. Pours a hazy light yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma combines pine and sweet citrus with a hint of mango supporting. Flavor has earthy grass and light pine with some earthy citrus underlying.

I'm Mourinho in this photo, Dele is the beer. Welcoming. Juicy, smooth, at 7.2%, this beer could cause some trouble. Thanks Joe!

Dan's Stag. Train rate. Thanks to Leighton for the can. Very hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and fairly dry, good fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, reasonably sweet, very light creamy sweetness. Nice light piney hop and mild hop spice. Light piney citrus. Trace of lemon on the back end. Very easy drinking.

Can shared on the train to Bristol. Thanks to Phil. Pours hazy yellow-gold with a fluffy, white head. Nice aroma, fresh and pithy citrus, lemon peel, a little grapefruit, background pale malts. Light sweet flavour with some pectin, tangerine, mellow rindy bitterness, lean pale malts, more grapefruit. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Nicely balanced finish, more pithy citrus, lemon and grapefruit, mild warmth, restrained bitterness. Super drinkable.
