Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up at Waitrose. Pours cloudy orange with a modest, foamy white head. Delivers a rather nice, fairly sweet jammy apricot character, with a little pale bread, minimal bitterness, maybe some ripening citrus. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, more juicy apricot, pale bread, a touch of orange rind. Nice.

[33cl bottle from Waitrose, Bracknell.] A murky aprociot coloured pour with a fast fading white head; muted apricot aroma; rather thin with a sour fruity taste; and some apricot kernel in the finish. Disappointing.

Hazy yellowish gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and fairly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Bottle gives the impression this is a single hop IPA but there is 9 fecking hops here! And this hop is more commonly known as Denali, except that’s now changed to Sultana! Jesus! A bit of a citric melange here, mild pine, touch of Denali pineapple here or Sultana pineapple (wot a feckin stupid name for a hop). Mild hop spice. A little cooling pine. Light finish. Not bad, the malt base is a little thin for me and if you’re going to showcase a hop, mebbe don’t add 8 others!

Klares Gold, dünne Schicht fester Schaum. Aroma: Hopfen (Zitrus), Malz. Voller Antrunk, Geschmack: Hopfen (Zitrus), etwas Malz. Nichts besonderes aber gut ausbalanciert, leichte Bitterkeit

Keg at the Green Dragon Ale House, Whitby. Red pour with a pink head. Aromas of raspberry jam, sour red fruit, red plums. Flavours of raspberry jam, red cherries, toffee apple, sour red fruit. Nice.

Bottle from the Bishops Cave. Aroma is berries, yoghurt, little citrus, sourness. Taste is similar, floral, some weird candy sweetness behind the sourness, cherry. White peach? Spritzy. Quite nice.

Bottle at the brewery. Apples, sour, but also yoghurt type thing going on. Decent aroma. Taste is not so great but alright, cherry, saison like but missing something. Not for me.
