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.

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.

Cold keg at the Shakespeares Head, Holborn. Pours slightly hazy amber colour with a small lasting off-white head. Aroma of hop, tropical and citrus fruit, and caramel (albeit the aroma was quite difficult to decipher over the top of this 'spoons general aroma of burgers and fish n chips which dominated the entire place). Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Would like to try this again elsewhere from cask.

Cask at St Albans Beer & Cider Festival 2017, St Albans, Herts. A hazy golden coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, fruity aroma. The taste is rather subdued, vaguely hoppy, fruity and served way too warm. When cask is on form it is great, when it is served like this it is crap.
