Any beer named Nutcracker should surely be sweet, right? Deeper golden west coast style appearance. It's much more than that in taste though with one of the most stated vanilla flavours I've had in a light brew, which is borderline sweet to rich. Its aroma doesn't quite match its taste, but is certainly not detrimental as this is a fabulous brew.

I went to quite a few in my London years, but can't describe myself as one. This Party Animal is a danker hazy golden colour with pine available in both aroma and taste, but as it's so easy in texture this has a subduing effect.

Daffodils were blooming as early as January last winter. Mildly hazed golden coloured ale. Nice cask texture with light sweet tropical fruit notes, evident in aroma too. Nothing too exciting though, just a.solid enough beer.
