On this drinking day in history in 1897 the 'flailing arm' to flag down transport became the norm as the first UK bus service began! There's nothing failing about this smoothish tropical fruit brew, subdued by its strength to an extent, but still dominant enough to disguise the strength of the beer. Lovely texture and citrus taste, with lots of aroma too. Hazy golden with a glow.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 14/09/2025.
Hazed orange topped with a lasting white head.
Nose is citric sherbets, grass, grapefruit, bitter orange, guava.
Taste comprises grapefruit, orange peel, melon, mandarin, mixed tropicana.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying spliced with juicy hop bitterness.
Okay DIPA if perhaps struggling to pull out of 3rd gear.

Can. A mild to medium haze on this orange gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, a mild dryness, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a thin light sweetness. Talus is a much underused hop in my humble. It's singing here with modern Simcoe. Bright peachy stone fruits and citrus and Simcoe delivering a small amount of pineapple. Crisp cooling pine runs throughout. Light finish brings an almost sherbet vibe. A delight.

Cask at Alexandra, Derby. Pours almost black with minimal tan head and good lacing. Thereโs roasted malts, toffee and parkin in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy with flavours of roasted malts, liquorice and hints of vanilla. After a while a general cola taste emerges, leading to a slightly bitter and dry finish. This is decent.
