330ml can @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours hazy gold, good white head. Aroma is fresh, light citric fruit. Taste is citrus, mild lime and tangerine, soft malts, fair carbonation. Prefer the Mosaic lager, but this is nice too.

Can. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Very hazy gold. Thin, messy, just off white head. Nose has sweet, yeasty, bready, damp and fusty malts. Spicy, floral hop. Some stone fruit. Some earthy notes. Bit of melon. Quite unusual. Taste is light, bready sweet. Earthy bitterness. Plenty of body. Slightly oily mouthfeel, tempered by brisk carbonation. Earthy finish, that gets fruitier as it goes along.

Scopey’s grand vertical. Can. Hazy gold beer, good cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, mildly sweet. Hops bring a mildly spicy floralness. Modest pineapple and a touch of citrus. Light dry finish. Mellow spicy linger. Good.

Can in Croydon. Big thanks to Kenny. It pours murky / cloudy dirty blonde with a thick off-white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, sweet pineapple, passion fruit, mango, bready, straw and light spice. The taste is smooth, mellow bitterness, grassy, pineapple, passion fruit, fruit salad sweets, light alcohol, straw, white bread and grass with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Very tasty and drinkable. My favourite of the series so far.

Can shared in East Croydon - thanks to Kenny. Pours unclear gold with a creamy topping. Nice aroma, fresh citrus fruits, peach. Light sweet flavor with lightly dried pale bread, some hay, citrus rind, more peach, melon, tangerine. Light bodied with average carbonation. Fairly clean on the finish, with further peach, nectarine, citrus, light rindy bitterness. Solid.
