Cask 2l takeaway from Flintgate, Weybridge. Aroma combines malty biscuits with stone fruit. Very pale yellow-gold. No head. Light sour stone fruit with malty sweetness and some spice into the finish. Not a great flavour combination for me. Light bodied. Thin. Soft carbonation. Astringent finish. The mixture of sweet and sour does not do it for me.

Keg at Flintage, Weybridge. Citrus tinged aroma with cloves and yeast. Light gold. Creamy white head. Light sour. Zesty. Spicy edge. Medium bodied. Thin but lifted by soft carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Nice enough. Benefits from the citrus. Light and summery.

Lots of melon, gooseberries and strawberries. Dry and resinous but also like a NEIPA. Hazy. White lacing. Excellent carb. Soft malts. Very drinkable.

Can from Wine Reserve, Cobham. Low key sour aroma - salty citrus funk. Looks like cranberry juice. Initial bubbles but ultimately no head. Medium sour. Salty underbelly. Not particularly citrusy, the hibiscus rules. Light bodied. Sick if thin. Fizzy carbonation. Dry astringent finish. Nice if a tad uninspiring.
