Named after the two heavyweight hops that battle it out in this brew (Summit and Mosaic), $UMO will wrestle your taste buds with a flavour combo of tropical fruit, dank herbs and weighty bitterness. Other beers may enter the ring but $UMO will be the last brew standing.

Big juicy aroma of hops, Tropical fruits, Haribos & bitter/sweet citrus. Medium bodied, highly carbonated on the palate with a crisp clean dry finish. Bitter citrus, sweet citrus, pineapple, Tropical fruits &p each tastes with a tangy lime tasting finish. Very nice indeed.....

Appearance is quite clear golden, a big clingy white head which quickly dissipates. Aroma- tropical fruit, pineapple, hops, wheaty malt, bit more fruit. Taste- bitter hops, citrus fruit, pineapple and orange undertones, quite lengthy bitter finish, fluffy mouthfeel.

440ml can. Pours hazy golden with a big frothy head. Aroma of tropical fruits, herbal, grains. Taste is the same, tropical fruits, quite herbal, light malts, bitter finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. Wasn't so keen on this at first as the herbal notes are a little odd, but it's good.

BB 30/03/18, 2nd to last of Yodel mess. Still plenty of flavor in there, but obviously not at its freshest. Light, crisp, clean flavors, lots of fresh citrus. Little bit cloudy. Should be brilliant when fresh. No rating cause of its age.

Six half-pints of different Mad Squirrel beers in their High Wycombe outlet, shared with the wife on 2nd April 2018. Theydon_Bois (Colin) brought us here before the big match (Wycombe v Grimsby Town). On-tap, Keg. Slight haze in the golden body, snow white crown on top. Tropical fruits with a citrus leaning in both the nose and taste, dry and bitter aftertaste. Decent.

Can from Inn At Home, Guildford. Grass and citrus aroma. A hazy pale gold. Massive frothy head. Light to medium bitter. Citrus hit, drops down for a more low key finish. You could say that it peaks too early. Thin but slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Decent if pedestrian.
