440ml can from Tesco. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light toffee citrus. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a light, fresh, crisp, light piney, biscuit, herbal, light earthy, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation. Nice can!

Can. Hazy gold beer, big pale cream colour head. Airy palate, semi dry, good fine minerally light carbonation. Fluffy malts, a light dry thin creamy sweetness. Harlequin presents here without discernable skunk. Light pine. Modest if bright citrus, a little floral citrus. Whisper of hop spice. It's all a little generic here, can't really get any sense of what Harlequin is all about. Could pass for Cascade here. A tidy beer but I would have liked a bit more presentation of this exciting new UK hop.

Can from Tesco with the dreadfully named brithop with an Oasis style logo. Nose is very soapy, vanilla, floral. Taste is similar, soapy, floral, coconut, vanilla, light lime in a short thing finish. Very little going on and really surprising to see such a bland beer from Buxton. A hopeless Ash song released when I was 15 ;p

440ml can, Chez Sophie. Hazed golden appearance, good white head. Nicely sweet exotic fruit, a touch sugary, smooth medium body. Decent overall. One of my favourite Ash songs too, released when I was 15!

Murky soupy gold with a matching swirly sticky white foam. Chalky mineral and on the turn lemon. Bit of gooseberry and stone fruit. Taste is pleasantly bitter with just some light oaty sweetness. Dry-ish and refreshing. Moderate bitterness to finish. It’s better than it looks.
