Can. Turner’s, Sheffield. Hazy gold. Thin, messy, lasting, just off white head. Slow moving and leggy. Handsome. Nose has plenty of spicy hop. Some coriander seed, and the like. Mouldy citrus fruit. Some pine bark. A bit gluey and phenolic. Taste is sweet and a little boozy. Gets spicy and piny bitter. Smooth mouthfeel that drinks under the ABV, despite the boozy aroma. More hop spice on the finish. Nice one.

Can. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and minerally crisp. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Cooling pine. Little orange peel. Modest hop spice. Tangerine before a crisp finish. Inevitably thin but crisp and hoppy.

Can. Light haze on this amber - gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and crispy. Fluffy malts, a pleasant light creamy sweetness. Nice levels of hop spice. Cooling pine. Spicy tangerine. Tangy citrus peel. Light finish. Pretty much the same as the APA but with volume turned up. Nice.
