White lacing. Orange hazy texture. Mangos and papaya fruits on aroma. Taste is sherbet bonbons. Sugar. Papaya. Soft malts. Minimum bitterness and a fruity finish. Some turb but not much. Can from a friend.

Takeaway can from The Flintgate, Weybridge. Stine fruit aroma with a resinous edge. Hazy orange-gold. Frothy translucent white head soon fades away pretty much entirely. Medium bitter with some underlying sweetness and a touch of sourness. Watered down stone fruit. Resin. And oldschool quinine. Develops an earthy taste into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Dry astringent finish. When old fashioned UK breweries brew an IPA the hops often end up just merging into quinine and this feels like it is of that ilk. Alright at best.
