Mellow and sweet aroma, more peach than citrus, with pie crust undertones. Taste is moderate bitter with quite a bit of sweetness underneath for an IPA. Finishes with them washing each other out. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation. Decent. Needs a crisper finish.

Cask at Ship Aground, Stafford. Pours almost black with a sizable frothy cream / straw head and good lacing. As expected the aroma has oranges, malts, and chocolate. Pretty much the same again in the mouth where it is sweet, smooth and creamy. Later on there are hints of peel, caramel and alcoholic strength. Sweetness lasts into the finish. This is decent – but somewhat predictable.

Spotty beige head on a dull amber coloured body.
Caramel, butterscotch & fudge aroma.
Full bodied, smooth creamy & sticky.
Salted caramel, toffee, icing & fudge tastes with a sweet peppery finish.
Nice as a one off but heavy going.

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.
gave a cheers!

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.
gave a cheers!
