Can't remember where this was but it was a while ago. Gar Eden perhaps. Pink golden colour, light pink head. Aroma is muscat, bit creamy, light funkiness. Taste is fruity, like a berry cider, muscat at the finish. Nice.

Tap at the Watering Hole. Cloudy pale orange colour, small white head. Aroma is plum and some funk. Taste is slight sourness, plum again, quite fruity, but grainy too. Interesting tingly texture. Fruit becomes more pronounced further down. Nice sourness at the end. Very easy drinking. Nice balance of dry graininess and sour fruit.

Tap at the Watering Hole. Dark brown, no head. Aroma is booze, roasty malt, bit of dark chocolate. Taste is similar, slick and thick, touch of coffee, choc sweetness. nice and drinkable. Creamy and roasty finish. Rerate: at Popeye. Aroma is more fruity this time but still very boozy. Maybe goes up a point as it seems to be a bit more rounded this time. And rerate again, this time at Server Land. Good, tasty, roasty, bit of cola, oaty. Taste is good, oats again, roast, chocolate, bit of smoke. Really nice.

Tap at Himalaya Table. Golden brown colour, not much head. Aroma is malty, like a UK golden ale from cask. Light Citrus hoppiness and bit of sweetness too. And some strawberry... Taste is good, real ale feel again, light citrus, sweet maltiness. Cherry drops. Slightly perfumey even. Nice though. Rerate at brewery March 16. Good stuff, big hop character, some doughiness, tropical fruit, mango, sticky toffee pudding. Nice.

Tap at the Hangover. Clear blond colour. Small white head. Aroma is slightly skunky, slight spiciness, herbal, bit fruity, malt. Taste is nice, lemon, floury, slight bitterness, lots of biscuity malt. Pretty solid. Have yet to be blown away by Outsider but have high hopes. Rerate at the brewery March 16. Candy floss, pear, interesting. Cherry as well maybe, light wheatiness, bit creamy. I like it more than last time.
