Twin Peaks is a refreshing, easy drinking beer with aromas of tropical fruits - pineapple and mango balanced with the refreshing taste of lemon sherbet.

Aroma of malts, citrus, light grapefruit. Flavour is similar, citrussy and somewhat malty and hoppy. Nice but unremarkable.

Two hand-pulled pint at the Wrekin Inn on 6th February 2024, quiz night! No mention of Sierra Nevada on the pump-clip, but must be the same beer? My third different golden ale with a citrus flavour of the night, had two of these because it was the strongest ABV wise, but they all tasted very similar to be honest (Deeply Vale Citra Storm, Vocation Pride & Joy, then this).

Can 440ml (KSM Kampus, canned 31/01/22) Doesn't mention Sierra Nevada anymore. Clear golden colour, firm white head and lace. Odd rubbery aroma with some hay. Light-bodied. Pale malts, citrus, some of same nasty rubberyness in the flavour too. Lingering citrus in the aftertaste. Simple, light and not very tasty.

Rocky white head left a froth on a clear slowly carbonating pale amber coloured body. Minimal malt aroma. Medium bodied, sharp & clean. Malt, minimal hops, faint citrus & bitter tastes. Not up to the normal Thornbridge standards.

From cask at Cardinal with BHK after seeing The Lobster at Lanternen filmklubb 19.11.19. Served by gravity. Translucent straw colour. Not head or lacing. Some aroma and taste of American hops and old citrus. Harsh citrus and pine bitterness is lingering on. Very flat, even by cask standard
