On tap at the Magpie. Hazy amber beer, little white head. Smooth semi dry palate with a tiny bit of carbonation. Mildly sweet caramal malt foundation. Sweetish hop fruits. Traces of pineapple, mango ad surprisingly a few red fruits like strawverry! A little orange as well. Finishes semi dry with just mild bitterness. Overall feels like a sweeter IPA, now’t wrong with that! Very drinkable!

On gravity at the Three Tuns, Bristol. American style IPA with Cascade, Centennial and Amarillo hops providing strong bitterness. Golden in colour with a slight white head. Hoppy aroma of grapefruit and pineapple. Flavour was similar, with some balancing sweetish malts and a lingering, dry finish. Very good.
