440ml can from the brewery. Hazy yellow-gold pour, small white head. Lemon citrus, herb dankness, stone fruits aroma, very fresh. Taste is fresh citrus, herbs come in at the same time as the bitterness ascends, after this starts to recede somewhat you get more of a chewy dried apricot note along side the citrus. Good smooth moderate body, soft carbonation. I cant really detect any milkshake IPA elements that the can mentions and that's probably a good thing. This is a very good hoppy fresh NEIPA. Lovely.

Cask in The Wellington, Brum, early January. Near black, beige to tanned head. Roasted malts with plenty of coffee notes and hint of chocolate with a berry yeast tang. Light to medium bodied which could be considered thin for the style but works with the richness of flavour.

Tap at Attic's Barrel Store. Semi hazed orange-gold with fluffy white head. This one was quite tropical, pineapple noted and sweet with a certain resinous floral pot pouri type thing. Nice mouthfeel but not my type of APA.

Tap at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. Light reddish pink with small white head. Tart raspberry and a more mellow sweet strawberry which compliment each other well. Not picking up much mango but there is a hint. Very nice bittersweet balance.
