330ml bottle @ Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Pours hazy gold, white head. Definite yeasty fruity aroma, fresh citrus and hints of lime. Taste is fresh, fruity yet light and sessionable. Little bursts of hop fruit emerge and dissipate. Really quite a lovely colourful session bitter / IPA whatever. But really, Ian pretty much nailed it below.

Bottle from The Bottle Shop Canterbury and drunk on the train home. Some earthy hop aroma. Wow big hop impact in the mouth. Yes you do get a good yeast aroma with some fruit. It’s a tropical fruit session bitter delight. You almost want to put a parasol in it. Wow that vic secret fruit is lovely just a burst of tropical fruits. Wow. I mean could I drink pints of this. Not sure. But it pinned me to the back of the seat and wouldn’t let me go. It’s kinda like being tied down by your partner and being slowly brought to a glowing orgasm. I rather liked it. Unsubtle but just so remarkable the aftertaste just goes on and on

Bottle at home picked up from Beer Hawk. A big lively pour, dark orange / light amber coloured pour with a huge rocky light beige head. Mostly clear. Aroma is nice blend of bready grains, toasted grains, biscuit, slightly jammy berry, some melon and pine. Palate is very lively, abrasive carbonation, semi-sweet, slightly grainy. Flavour is composed of toasted bready grains, orange peel, hints of pine. Nicely layered hops. Assertive smooth citrus bitterness. Over carbonated but still very enjoyable..

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham, consumed at home Tuesday 15th March 2016 Pours dark chestnut with an off-white heading to light beige head. Soft in the mouth, a touch of caramel, sweet then bitter. A rather easy drinking lager style beer, the hops adding a nice touch, can this appealing to a diverse cross section as it straddles the boundaries. A6 A4 T8 P3 Ov14 3.5

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines and drunk at home. Clear gold colour lasting cream head. its a decent if slightly perfumed hoppy lager. Rather a tasty highly hopped lager. Bitter finish. A little unbalanced as much as maybe too hoppy. Pretty decent.
