Can at home from Tudor Wines in Hitchin. Look, this is just a very pleasant craft IPA that went very well with fish and chips at home. Taste, body and a real drinkability. Nothing to set the world on fire, but good.

Can. Hazy orange beer, good cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonated snap. Light malts, a tad thin on the mouthfeel but providing plenty of sweetness. The Harlequin and UK Cascade deliver a crisp clean hop bite, crisp pine and a good hop spice nip. Light generic fruits, generic citrus, light smooth melon back to pine. Light and semi dry finish. No Harlequin grungey skunk in this brew, light clean and crisp.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines. Thick as a bag deep orange. Trubtastic this one. Decent glossy foam. Bitter peel and pine. Sweet bready malt. Some leafy hop. Taste is dry and lightly bitter. Pretty thin, verging on insipid. There’s little going on here. Thin and watery bitter finish. Well it set off ok, but dropped off a hill thereafter.
