500ml bottle from Appleyards, Shrewsbury. Pours hazy orange with thin foamy head. Aroma is light & breezy. Taste is quite pleasant with orangey hints and mild tropical elements. A touch of citrus resin on the finish. Ultimately expected more hops but it’s still a decent pale.

500ml from Appleyards Deli, Shrewsbury. Thanks Mike! Pours hazy orange with foamy off-white head. Bright citrus aroma. Taste is fresh and fruity with soft lemon, marshmallows & vanilla with nods towards Sorachi Ace, although it doesn’t appear to be on the hop list. Solid fruity Waen pale.

Grassy aroma and tutti-fruity
. Lemons, grapefruit, citrus and nice bitterness. Needs to be unfiltered.

Hazy orange colour. Drinks like freshly squeezed Florida orange juice. Lacking carbonation and aroma could be better

Cask. Shakespeare’s, Sheffield. Clear, copper amber colour. Dense, thick, lasting, off white head. Fresh baked, bready malts. Cinder toffee. Taste is burnt caramel sweet. Mild bitterness. Light bodied. Finishes long, light bitter, with some sweetness on the lips. Ok.

The Sun Inn summer beer festival, Kelvedon. Cask. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy with modest fine carbonation. Light pale malts, just a little sweetness. Floral orange. Delightful pineapple led tropical fruits. Mild mango also identifiable. Floral sweetness before a semi dry finish. Good stuff.
