Bottle. Mr. Pickles, Sheffield. Hazy, pale gold. Halo of white. Nose has wheaty, bready malts. Creamy, lactic tang. Notes of fruit, although not necessarily pineapple. I’d have said mandarin, maybe. The wheat comes more pronounced as it warms. Taste is dry, with a soft, lactic tanginess. Light bodied and clean. Light dry, clean finish. Decent. Minimal sourness, which makes for an easy drinker.

Bottle. Beer Stop, Dronfield. Murky, pale gold. Film of white. Nose has damp grain, and wheat. Some gooseberry hop. Some peach. Taste is grainy sweet. Turns light bitter. Soft mouthfeel. Feels a bit sugary. Light bitter finish. More of the damp grain on the close.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy, dark orange. Film of sticky, white head. Leggy, and quite viscous. Looks good. Nose has light, strawberry hop. Some notes of sweet grain. It’s pretty subdued, really. Taste is sweet, firstly, then light bitter. Smooth mouthfeel. Bit of boozy warmth. Full body. Finishes fairly long, zesty bitter, but to he honest, not enough to cancel out all the sweetness that’s gone before.

Bottle. Mr. Pickles, Sheffield. Clear, dark, chestnut brown. Film and a few bubbles of beige. Nose has dark chocolate. Dried figs. Prunes and dates, and the like. Hint of vanilla. Smells great. Taste is fruity, vinous, and roasty bitter. Nice tang to it, that balances a lip coating sweetness well. Silky mouthfeel. Soft carbonation. More of the sticky lip thing and fruity tartness on the finish. Very nice.

Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy, dark orange. Film, and a ring of loose bubbles. Aroma of jammy malts. Some spicy hop. Lots of strawberry hop. Taste is fruity sweet. Minimal bitterness. Soft carbonation. Oily palate. The bitterness does rise on the finish, and it’s easy drinking, but overall it’s too sweet and jammy for me.
