Buzzkill, the buzzing extension of roadkill, delivers a sweet sting of flavour. Double dry-hopped with Citra, mosaic, amarillo, el dorado, and Idaho 007 hops, this hazy New England IPA bursts with juicy waves of mango, peach, and citrus, balanced by a soft bitterness. As smooth and lively as a bee’s dance. It’s dangerously crushable and full of bold flavour. This beer is the bee’s knees!

On average less than 10 people in the UK die from a bee or wasp sting per year. It's a colourful insect coloured yellow-orange, hazy and almost juice-like in appearance. Somewhat soapy in texture, it's quite full in its tropical and stone fruit mixed taste, and fair in aroma too.

Can from Sainsbury’s. Hazy golden body with a thick off-white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of pineapple and peanut shell. Flavour of pastel de nata and juicy pineapple. Medium body with smooth texture. Soft fizz. Punchy and slightly sweet.

Can from Eltham Sainsburys. Mango, passionfruit, peach & sweet citrus aromas. Taste is peach, tangerine, mango, spot of white pepper. Herby hoppy action. Good stuff.
