Draft at the brewery in Liverpool, England. It pours a hazy yellow-gold color with a small white head and good retention. The hazy has a hoppy and bitter aroma. I'm not getting any juicy notes in the aroma. No juice notes in the flavor either, but the hops and the bitterness are soft and more strange than the aroma suggests. Unfortunately, there aren't enough juicy notes to offset even the light bitterness and hops. Medium body and medium-light carbonation. Light to moderate bitterness.

Can from Home Bargains. Hazy golden body with an off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of straw and apricot. Flavour of orange pith and white bread. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Smooth and hoppy, pretty good for the price.

Can from Home Bargains. Hazy gold with white head and decent retention. Aroma is quite subtle for the style but mango, flora and citrus are notable. Taste again is not that intense but mango, citrus pith, pine and peppery spice notes make this quite tasty. Nice slick medium body and spiky carbonation. Enjoyable bittersweet fruit and spicy finish. My previous beer was a NEIPA from Tiny Rebel and I'm giving the same score as that one surprisingly. The TR beer had a fresher and more notable hop presence but the Love Lane beer has a more full mouthfeel, the balance of flavour is better and the spiciness is a nice element. Not bad for a £1.79 can.

Hazy pale yellow colour with light fluffy head. Lots of fragrant lemon zest but is not particularly bitter.

Foamy white head on a turbid golden coloured body. Mango & stone fruit aroma. Medium bodied, soft with a short dry back. Mango, pineapple, stone fruit, grape & exotic fruit tastes thinning out to a bit of a limp finish. Nice enough.

44o can from Home Bargains. Golden in colour and hazy, with a thin, white, head. Aroma of citrus hops and tropical fruit sweetness, with some green herbs in the background. Flavour had more fruit, light rich tea malts and a hint of greenery before a dryish finish. Good.

[44cl can from Home Bargains, Bracknell.] A cloudy straw coloured pour with a tight white head; pineapple aroma; juicy pineapple taste with a light citrus bitterness to finish. Pleasant enough, but rather thin.
