Can. Beer Central, Sheffield. Fully opaque, pale gold. Thin, lasting, sticky, white head. Nose has oaty sweet grain. Overripe citrus. Some strawberry. Some mint leaf. Soggy peach. Some green herb. Taste has some stone fruit, estery sweetness. Citrusy, oily bitterness. Medium body. A little flabby. Soft carbonation. Bitterness builds toward the finish. Nice enough. Just feels a bit flabby and dull.

Can from The Beerhive. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of peach, custard and bubblegum. Flavour of sponge cake, dried grass, peach and a hint of peppery hops on the finish. Medium body with a creamy texture. Soft fizz. A peachy IPA. Very soft and well rounded.

On tap at Deya Taproom. Murky golden with a small head, good retention. Juicy tropical fruit aroma, grapefruit, mango, pineapple. Taste is the same as the aroma, also got a hint of coriander seed that I didn't pick up from the aroma which is apparently what they were added for... strange, light sweetness, low bitterness. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Excellent effort from all involved.
Also picked up a can from the taproom on the same night, brought it home and I am currently drinking it one month later on 12/01/18. The only thing I'd say is it finishes with a little more bitterness, otherwise seems identical to the kegged version.
