Can from Beer Ambleside. Appearance - clear golden with just the slightest haze. Attractive white head. Nose - canned mandarin and ripe peach. Taste - ripe peach again with with a tutti frutti confected edge to it. Palate - medium bodied, tangy middle and finish. Overall - liked this one. Found it a little different from the usual.

Third, shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, KegStar Bar. Pearl white head leaving clingy lacing behind, cloudy golden body. Inviting smell of ripe citrus. Apricot and citrus to the taste buds, a piney touch to the ending. Refreshing and fine bodied. (Third day of the festival, 24.01.2020).
