Tap at Tilt, Birmingham. Pours a dark red with small off white top. This one had notes of tart red berries, rye bread, citrus, sweet spice. Quite crisp in the finish. Good.

Can from Beer52. Good APA, slightly on the malty side but offset by nice hopping. Look: Misted gold with small white head; fairly standard. Nose: Slightly more malty than average APA but good citrus, stone fruits, pine and herbal hop notes coming through. Taste: soft biscuit, citrus peel, flora, moderate pine resin, fruity and bitter finish; solid. Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, oily, semi-drying, lively but fine carbonation. Works well.

Can from Beer52. Lightly misted gold with moderate sized white foam, good retention. Aroma of white bread, citrus zest, grains; reasonable freshness. This flows through to the flavour - decent malt base, orange zest and stone fruits, then a floral bitter bite in the finish. When they called it a Spanish Lager I was expecting a slightly hoppier San Miguel type beer but instead the brewer has stuck some Spanish orange zest in the mix. However, Its not overdone and the hop presence is still decent. I like it. Only my 10th rate from Leicestershire so far (Jun-23)

Can from Honest Brew, online. Pours a dark brown with small beige head, good retention. Aroma of smoked bacon and roasted malts. Cant pick up any subtle notes due to smokiness. Taste is smoke (more woody than bacon in note thankfully), roasted malts, light berry tang, pine, some rye, dry bitter finish. Not picking up much chocolate notes which I think would have improved this beer. Its quite nice, smoky but not overdone like some.

330ml can from Honest Brew. Hazy gold with small white head, nice lasting top. Aroma is very floral and spicy with lavender and coriander coming through. Taste is the same with some zestiness and a nice background of sweet malts and the wheat coming through. Lacks something, its certainly no Hoegaarden. Nonetheless its a good Witbier that doesn't hold back.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from Fuss Club and drunk at home. Dark gold and clear with a good-sized off-white head. Strong aroma of pine with overripe citrus. Bitter taste, lots of grapefruit and kumquat peel. Some mint. Long bitter finish with more citrus. So far west I think we ended up somewhere in Hawaii. A little too intense for its own good.

Gravity cask at Pig’s Ear 2024 - Hackney. Pours clear copper-gold with a frothy, off-white head. Light sweet flavour with pleasant, subtly toasted biscuity malts, balanced leafy bitterness, accents of dried citrus. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation; great condition. Well balanced finish. Great bitter.
