Can. Beer Central, Sheffield. Looks like mango juice. No head. Smells like mango and lime juice. And then there’s a fairly rough, earthy, herbal, rotten vegetable thing going on. Smells like on the turn peppers. Taste is dry and a bit sour. Nah. Hard work. Can’t be bothered.

Can. With a horribly rubbery label that squeaks when you touch it. Beer Central, Sheffield. Sits a muddy, copper red. Fine ring of off white head. Nose is pretty muted and comes across a bit marmalade. Taste is muted too. It’s like sugary, bitter water. Oh I can’t be arsed. I need to pack this ticking in, and just stick to Kernel, SMOD, and one or two others.
