Can from brewery – given away as freebie at promotional event. Pours almost black with small , transient dark beige head. Chocolate and roast malts in the aroma. The initial sensation in the mouth is of a sharp fruitiness. This is quickly swamped by milky chocolate, but remains underneath. Later on coffee grains and roasted malts come through. Finish is sweet and sticky. Very nice – and dangerously drinkable !

Blond colour with thin head and light haze. Aroma and flavour have loads of juicy citrus notes. Pithy bitterness in the finish. So easy to drink

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Beer No Evil. Pours mostly clear gold with a frothy, white head. Smells like vinyl in the sun. Impressively, and sadly, it also tastes like vinyl in the sun. The first sip was unpleasant. So was the second sip. Against my occasionally better judgement, I kept sipping. If I really dig around, I find some citrus fruit notes. But the vinyl-plastic-soapy notes are overwhelming. This is a beer that has not gone well. Somewhere, at some point, something went bad wrong. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Lingering plastic in the finish, faint rindy citrus, lemon peel. It brings me no joy in saying this beer is terrible.

Half-pint, cask, shared with Finn at Maypole. Decent fawn-coloured head over a jet black body, fragile lacing. Roasted malty aromas, mid-sweet chocolate scent. Malt-driven taste of dark dough and chocolate malts, lactose behind. Prolonged sweet chocolate ending. Medium bodied. Nice, a tad too sweet though. (Cambridge 14.11.2021).

On tap at Craft Beer Oasis, Crewe. Pours a hazy straw colour with minimal foamy white head, but good lacing. There’s vague citrus leanings in the aroma, but not much else. There’s a decent amount of hop induced fruit flavour in the mouth. Mango and torpical fruits are the mainstays, but also traces of grapefruit, orange and nuts. Texture is a bit scummy though. Finish is slightly dry. A decent enough beer.

Let me take you down ‘cos I’m going to … On tap at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a murky pinkish apricot with a small white head. The aroma is srtrawberries with a side order of lactose. These also occur in the mouth, where they are joined by floral hops and stone fruit with kiwi coming through later. Finish is sharp and slightly dry. I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would – but it’s nothing to get hung about …

On tap at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a murky dark apricot with a small white head and good lacing. There’s a distinct aroma of mango and tropical fruit for this one. Shapr in the mouth with floral hops to start, plus some autumn fruits. Later on pineapple starts ot ocme through. Finish is dry and bitter. Nice enough, but not my type of beer at all.
