Sweet fruity flavour of bready pale malt, mango, lychee, lemon, grass and white wine in a crisp, dry, mild bitter, spicy hop finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Not bad, but could have been more aggressive.

Weak foam on a semi translucent reddish body, soft raspberry and malt on the nose that comes across like mud. Flavour is sweet raspberry and some soft grain, sugar is cloying and lingers on the tongue. Very average fruity concoction, nothing much to see here, though it is drinkable.

Bomber bottle bought from the source, brought back to the mainland for a friday night such as this whereas it's way too hot and far too few people care about the nuances of such a thing. This pours with an okay heavily carbonated orangey body and rather huge white head despite my best efforts to dissuade it from that path. There are big fruit tannins on the nose, semi-sour, lots of sugar and lots of skin. Flavour is plenty of sweet and semi-sour passion fruit, all-in, full-on with skins and seeds and all. Mostly crisp on the mouth. Quite nice as a fruit beer, sweet but not overbearingly so and worth a look if'n you happ'n to be in the area. Man, I really need to play Ultima IV through again another time, all the way without the cheats.

Great big foam on a stormy yellow body, Big sweet caramel on the nose. Flavour is chewy cloying caramel that lingers on the tongue. Hops are invisible and so is the alcohol, but it's sweet like one of those English strong ales rather than an IPA. Overbearing and way too cloying.
