Can from Bottles & Books. Murky golden body with a thin white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange, apricot and straw. Flavour of raw hops and bitter lemon. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. The three Pentrich beers I’ve had to date have been full on and mega hoppy; I’ve liked them but have struggled to find flavour nuances beyond ‘raw and hoppy’.

Can bought from the Offie, Leicester, and drunk at home. Bright golden orange and impenetrably hazy. Juicy aroma with lots of satsuma, pineapple, apricot and mango, with notes of TCP. Bittersweet taste. There's a lovely beer here somewhere but it's buried under hop burn. I settle into it a bit and get more creamy citrus and stone fruit character. Sharp, boozy finish with bright bitter hop on the aftertaste. Intense and to enjoy sipped slowly.

Can picked up via Hoptimism, webshop, Loughborough, Leicestershire and consumed at home Attenkirchen. Pours for the world looking like some sort of orange milkshake with a large white head. Soft mouthfeel, creamy, oaty, smooth, however as smooth as this is the hoppiness really hits, a bit of a hoppy burn. Streaky, fresh green hoppiness, sweet, resinous but with some overipe tropical touches, some orange ice cream (if there is such a thing) however there is a nice pithiness. This is good, really good.

Can. Beer Central, Sheffield. Chic looking milky gold. Fine and dense, glossy white foam is lasting and semi lacing. Nose has super sweet tinned pineapple and peach. Milky oats. Chalk. Touch of pine freshener. Taste is sweet and milky, with a citrus, slightly mineraly bitterness. Medium body. Pretty smooth. Soft carbonation. Thankfully gets more bitter towards the finish. Decent. Nice and fresh and fruity, but possibly too sweet overall, for me.
