Can shared in London - thanks to Daniel. Pours hazy orange with a creamy, white head. The aroma holds pale grains, rindy citrus, white grape. Light sweet flavour with nips of apple skins, soap, lemon n peel, pale grains. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with further soapy notes, crips grains. Not the best.

Can at LKS. It pours hazy golden with a thick white head. The aroma is so damn sweet, sticky, oily, candy, loads of melon and sugar. The taste is soft, sweet, toasty grain, bread, loads of melon, pear, hint of tartness with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Decent enough fruit gold.

330ml can bought at BrewDog Cardiff, shared with Finn on a GWR train from Bristol to London Paddington. Tan-coloured head, jet black body, lacing rings down the glass.Rich aroma of sweet dark malts with a coffee touch. Mixed sweet taste of lactose, dried fruits and coffee. Sweet malty end. Smooth on the swallow. A nice one, just a tad too sweet in the long run. Great with the Captain Beefheart homage. (04.05.2017).

Cask at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. Poured a hazy straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is malt, tropical fruit. The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a soft, smooth watery, light citrus hop, light spice, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. Served warm which brought out more of the flavours, but a little too light for me.

Keg @ Brewdog, Manchester. Black with a thin off-white creamy head. Has a light tasting texture for its strength, with a palatably light roasted malt flavour, as well as a fair aroma. Chocolate is evident.
