Fra fat på The Cheshire Cheese (nei, ikke Ye Olde CC), sammen med Stephen: uklar lys gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Søt citrus, pensjonsfrukt og aprikos. Fin bitterhet med slank maltkropp og i det hele utmerket forfriskende.

Can. Nose is pineapple, mango, lilt, hint of minerality. Taste is sweet mango, hint of banana, pineapple, lots of peach, touch of citrus.

It's very sweet and fruit juice, but I enjoyed it

Can from the Co-operative.
Appearance - cloudy yellow to orange and a nicely proportioned off-white head.
Nose - ripe pear, soft melon and edging to mango.
Taste - juicy pear again, orange zest to the fore, mango skin hanging in at the end.
Palate - medium bodied, creamy and pulpy. Zesty finish.
Overall - dangerously smashable!

Zwart bier met mooie lichtbruine schuimkraag. Smaak is bitterzoet met overduidelijk veel mint en wat chocolade en karamel. Heeft een heel prettig zacht en romig mondgevoel. Helaas overheerst de mint iets te veel voor mij omdat ik daar niet zo van hou. Desondanks een heel goed bier!
