Hand pulled pint at the Pheasant Inn & Brewhouse on 6th December 2025. Clean and clear golden body, white crown. Grapefruit nose and taste, other citrus fruits undertones, but the grapefruit esters and flavours overpowered them for me. No piney notes either.

Can sourced from Art & Craft SW16 at home in London - 29/11/2025 Fruity notes of grapefruit and orange, light peachy, grass and pine, semi sweet malty backing, solid hoppy refreshing finish. Nice one.

Hand pulled half pint in the Royal William IV, Lincoln on 28th November 2025. Clean and clear pale golden body, snow white head. Citrus nose and taste, Simcoe hops doing their thing from start to finish, so fairly bitter as well.

Pilegrimsleden går alltid via The Rake i Borough Market, som bare var en "greasy spoon" når vi bodde der. Fra cask: brunsvart med fint skum som varer. Nydelig aroma og enda bedre smak med mørke 70%-sjokolader, nybrent kaffe, vanilje og hint av kanel. Lekker og særdeles imponerende for en øl med relativt lav voltstyrke.

My parents frequent holiday friends recently destroyed a parasol so it couldn't be used again after the airline refused to take it on their return from Spain. The monster in them isn't found here as this Parasol is a somewhat stewed tropical fruit brew in both aroma and taste, but flavoursome nevertheless. Easy enough texture.

Victorian Craft Beer Cafe Back In Black Beer Festival 2025, Beer#4. Black, with the least amount of head of the three I've just ordered. Not boozy at all for its strength in its crisp, sweet taste, although a little bit in its aroma. Liquorice for flavour.
