25/6/2020. Can from Beer52. Pours very dark mahogany brown with a large bubbly beige head. Aroma is roasted, chocolate, malt, coffee, and a hint of spice. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body, slight slick texture, average carbonation. Finished a bit watery but pretty decent overall.

Takeaway can from The Flintgate, Weybridge. Stine fruit aroma with a resinous edge. Hazy orange-gold. Frothy translucent white head soon fades away pretty much entirely. Medium bitter with some underlying sweetness and a touch of sourness. Watered down stone fruit. Resin. And oldschool quinine. Develops an earthy taste into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Dry astringent finish. When old fashioned UK breweries brew an IPA the hops often end up just merging into quinine and this feels like it is of that ilk. Alright at best.

Can from The Flintgate, Weybridge. Aroma has a citrus tang, stone fruit and a hint of resin. Hazy amber. Creamy white head. Medium bitter. Sour edge and a hint of sweetness. Boozy stone fruit and resin. Medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long dry finish. Fruity as opposed to juicy. Decent enough.

Can bought at Flintgate, Weybridge. Grassy peach and apricot aroma, but lacking sweetness. Hazy pale gold. Bubbly translucent white head quickly recedes. Tart stone fruit aroma. Light-medium sour. Underlying saltiness. Light bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Dry astringent finish. Happier and rater than other Radlers I've had. Not bad.

Keg 2 pints takeaway from Flintgate, Weybridge. Sour, vinous, cherry aroma. Opaque ruby red. Foamy translucent white head soon retreats to the rim. Medium sour. The cherry is prominent. Underlying stone fruit. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation - but that may be because it's been sst in a plastic bottle for a few hours now. Long astringent. It's nice enough, if basic.
