Pale yellow pur with a white head that does not last too long. Aroma is mango, malt, raisins. Taste is mainly malt before tropical fruits appear. Slightly watery, even for an AF

Can from Garsons Farm Shop. Clear copper gold. Thick foamy white head. Aroma has low key citrus with a hint of spice and underlying veg. Flavourwise it's has bitter and sour citrus over a mineral and fruit core (think vitamin tablets). Some quinine bitterness into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry finish. Pretty similar to the previous SIPA I just rated from this lot, only moree underpowered with added minerals. Typical SIPA and I suspect they scrimped on the ingredients.

Can bought at Garsons Farm Shop. Slightly opaque gold. Thin foamy white head. Aroma has a sharp edge of citrus and light fruit. Some spice. Tangy spur citrus with some sherbert when it comes to flavour... over a more restrained stone fruit base. An almost chalky dryness to the flavour. Slightly watery. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. They've tried to squeeze in the flavour and hoppage but the result is unbalanced - both citrisy but without depth.

On tap at their Heathrow taproom. Pours clear pale gold with a white head. Crunch malts and sweet, sappy pine on the nose. Flavour has a very sap-like pine character with resins and a chewy biscuit malt base. I'm not sure I love the hop expression but it's decent and has a good body.

On tap at the Heathrow taproom. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Lifeless aroma. Flavour has skunky malts, rotting grass, and is somehow slightly sour. High carbonation at least. This is messe up.

Festival pint at Hole In The Wall pub, in London, England. Cask pour. It pours a mostly clear gold color with a small white head and good retention. Hoppier than anticipated aroma. Thankfully, this pale ale flavor is not as hoppy tasting as the aroma. Like a lot of the cask ales, it's pretty mellow overall. It's also fairly "British warm." Medium-light body. Low carbonation as expected for a cask pour. Light to moderate bitterness, but it's a soft bitterness. Overall, the taste is decent, but sadly, the higher serving temperature is a bit of a turn-off.
