330ml can via Beer52. Drank at home on 19th February 2026. So, so Session IPA, hoppy first and foremost, slight orangey/citrus leaning. Not a lot going on to be honest. Much preferred the Dead Canary I had before this.

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.

6.3/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 6 Texture 7 Overall 6
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.
