Can shared in London - sourced from Eebria. Pours clear honey-gold with a billowing, frothy white head. There’s a bit of raw alcohol in the nose, phenols, sun-kissed wheat, orange peel. Medium sweet flavour with crisp and grainy bready character, more booze, yeast, faint honey. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. A little oily. Pretty boozy in the finish, lightly warming, more wheat, sweat wheat bread, mild bitter citrus peel. This one is a bit raw overall. So so.

Can from The Beerhive shared with Ashton McCobb. Pours murky amber with a thin white head. Aromas of fruit salads, papaya. Taste is light bitter, fruity. Not much belgian character. Decent enough.

Can thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - cloudy amber with a nice lacy head. Nose - tutti fruity sweets. Light spice. Taste - tangy papaya with citrus note on the finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry tangy finish. Overall - really tasty beer.

Can from The Beerhive. Hazy amber body with a medium off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of caramel, banana bread and polished wood. Flavour of stewed pear, brown sugar and earth. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Lively fizz. Lacks the hop hit I hoped for from a Belgian IPA; the malt and yeast dominate.

Can. Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Hazy, pink tinged, dark gold. Film of sticky, white head. Nose has sticky malts. The yeast comes over a bit gluey and thick. Some overripe banana. Some spicy hop. Maybe a bit muddled. Taste is biscuity sweet. Sticky mouthfeel. A tad heavy going. Trace of bitterness near the end. More Belgian than IPA.
