A tropical hop fuelled West Coast wanderer, the Armadillo transcends the ages, expect waves of zesty citrus rolling over local barley, giving a nod to the session ales of yesteryear, hop amplified for flavour, this is beer for the present day.

330ml can: Sophie's Beer Store; BBE May 2021. Poured into a Chimay chalice at home on 8th Dec 2020. Misty golden pour, floaters and a white head. The nose is both yeasty and floral in nature, the taste is stone fruits with a citrus leaning, body depth a little 'wanting', but it's only 3.8% ABV so that's allowed I suppose. Pleasant enough, without knocking your socks off.

330ml can sophiesbeerstore.co.uk. Lightly misty pale gold. Large ricky white froth atop. Aroma bears a nice floral yeasty sweetness. Great full flavour for the ABV, nice floral sweet character with an appealing sweetness, medium bodied, some citric juice emerging. Hitting the spot after a 45 mile bike ride to Wenlock Edge and back.

On tap at the Bow Bar. Pours amber with full head. Aromas of tropical fruit and soft malts. Light tropical fruit and pine resin flavors on a soft bready malt base. Nice for a light/cask.

Medium gold and soft foam, sweet juicy pineapple and pine on the nose. Flavour is more juicy pineapple with pine hints. Good oiliness. Such a low abv but delivering huge flavour, good stuff.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 6th April 2019. Copper with shallow disappearing foam and no lacing. Sweet caramel malt aroma. A malty taste in-mouth with savoury nuttiness, and a finish of the same. Smooth mouthfeel and light body.
