330ml can delivered from the Salmon, Leicester and drunk at home. Light gold, slightly hazy, with a massive rocky white head. I mean this thing is a gusher. Grapefruit, lemon zest, boiled sweet in the aroma. Bittersweet taste, not getting a lot of flavour from it. A bit of lemon drop before the short finish. Watery body, soft carbonation. Decent if a little disappointing.

Foam. I've had two cans & gave the benefit of doubt on the first. Shocking beer & waste of my hard earned money. Two drain pours.

Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy golden body with a thin off-white head. Low carbonation. Aroma of grass, bread and melon rind. Flavour of orange pith and grass. Thin to medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. Less murky and more bitter than I’d expect for the style, but it’s a decent beer all the same.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - cloudy yellow with close to snow white head. Nose - passion fruit and lime. Taste - more tropical, possibly more towards pineapple this time, with lime too. Light biscuit underlay. Palate - light bodied. Dry, finish with balanced bitterness. Overall - lovely beer.
