On tap at The Scrapyard. By far not bitter (or hoppy) enough for a west coast, shows some honey-barley sweetness, a hint of grassy-herbal hops, but no punchy hoppyness or pronounced bitterness

Very sweet, ample perfume, dark sugar syrup, vague bruised banana, dark malts. Pretty cynical. Drinkable in a perverted kind of way though.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours loaded gold, transparent, with fine white foam. Aroma is quite dull, with a little cereal and soapy. Body is average, with weak carbonation. Taste is not much. A hint of bitterness behind a hint of bready sweetness. Final is fairly dry and insignificant.

Deep and dark with a tall tan head. Dry roasted malts, cocoa powder, earthy, a touch of burnt malt, bitter dark chocolate. Dry finish with very little sweetness throughout. Full bodied. Reminds me of many dry Irish stouts I’ve had. It’s a good beer especially at the abv.

Okay mellow hoppy affair but nothing I'd revisit.

Hazy orange pour, with a huge white head. Intoxicating aroma of ripe oranges, lemons, and grapefruit. Loads of citrus zest and apricots, and other stone fruit. Wow! Mouth feel is soft but pleasant, and the finish is low to medium on the bitterness, with a just juicy citrus closing. Excellent beer!

Can in the Rub Hut with Rich, Bingohame, 27/02/2025.
Sipped whilst watching the Terrifier.
Moderately hazed golden orange topped with an off white cap that thins to the edge.
Nose is bitter orange, grass, melon, tangerine.
Taste comprises orange zest, soapy tones, citric tinged straw, melon.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow juicy come grassy hop bitterness.
Passable affair ... off putting soapy notes drags the score down.
