On tap at Low Key Taproom Ashford black beer lasting tan head. Plenty of maple pecan aroma. And possibly diacetyl. More like a crunchie bar to be honest. Its a bit sweet. OK.

Clear and golden with a frothy white head and a soft fruit malt aroma. Light to medium bodied, soft and somewhat chewy fruit malt with a touch of citrus hop bitterness and a dry finish.

440ml can. Murky golden with a white head. Aroma of ripe mango and peach, pineapple and grapefruit. Taste is sweet ripe tropical fruits, mango, grapefruit, peach, pineapple, boozy alcohol warmth in the finish. Medium bodied.
Not bad but found it pretty boozy despite being around the standard DIPA strength... would've guessed it was a 10%'er.

Creamy white head stayed on a hazy golden coloured body.
Mandarin, melon & nectarine aroma.
Medium to full bodied, soft creamy & lightly carbonated with a dry clean back.
Melon, white wine, stone fruit, acidic & peppery tastes with a big tangy finish.
Delightful.
