Keg at Six Deg North. It pours hazy golden with a decent white head. The nose is fresh, juicy, zesty citrus, passion fruit and mango. The taste is crisp, bitter, orange rind, tangerine rind, pithy, nectarine, straw, grassy bitterness and pepper with a dry, zesty finish. Light body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Crisp, bitter and sessionable. Very nice low abv action.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Hazy golden body with a medium white head. Steady carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma of orange zest, cereal and lemon. Flavour of paracetamol (Amarillo hops?) and tangerine with a hint of gin and tonic on the finish. Thin to medium body with a watery texture. Nice fizz. A zippy, refreshing beer. I could drink buckets of this in the sunshine.

Cask at Hanging Bat. It pours jet black with a medium tan head. The nose is rich roast, cocoa, coffee, liquorice, plum, date, light spice and leather. The taste is smooth, rich roast, coffee, cocoa, mocha action I suppose, citric rind, mild acidity and earth with a dry, toasty finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A robust porter for sure. Good depth for the abv. Quaffable.
