Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers! It advertises and delivers passion fruit. The salty kick that is stated is delivered. Not overly sour but something to enjoy.

330ml bottle from Micro Beer Crate. New brewery for me. Black pour with massive tanned head, somewhere between foamy and fizzy. Nice retention Aroma is very much coffee and milky lactose, decent rich quality to it. Light to medium bodied and a little lighter than expected for 5.9% Taste is also a bit on the light side although the coffee, roasted malts and lactose do come through with a slight almost citrus tanginess. I was expecting better but its still a decent beer.

Tap at the Creative Juices Taproom, Rickmansworth. Poured a very slightly hazy greenish light yellow colour with a lasting frothy white head and plenty of champagne bubbles. The aroma is grainy malt, light lager yeast. The flavour is light bitter and sweet, with a light, crisp, watery, cucumber palate. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Light flavoured water if I’m honest.

6/8/2021. Bottle from A Hoppy Place, Windsor. Pours clear orange gold with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma and taste dominated by passionfruit, with light malt, vanilla, rubber and floral notes. Not too sour, nice smoothness, with some lasting tartness and saltiness. Average carbonation. Good.

Keg at A Hoppy Place, Windsor, Berks. A dark red coloured pour with a medium off white/pink head on top. Tart, sour cherry aroma and taste. Didn't pick up on the white chocolate. Not really my thing but interesting enough.

Bottle from A Hoppy Place, Windsor. The aroma certainly ticks the maple and pecan boxes. Hints of coffee and a medicinal edge. Opaque cola brown. No head. The medicinal theme carries on into the flavour - it's the combination of coffee and maple that end up highlighting the sourness. Dandelion and buttock also conws to mind. The pecan is pretty much lost. Light-medium bodied. Creamy/slick but still feels thin. Average carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. The spot aroma set this Stout up for a fall, not helped by the fact that it is quite odd tasting.

Bottle from A Hoppy Place, Windsor. Aroma = zesty grapefruit with the addition of cloves. Cloudy copper-orange. Very thing translucent white head. Heavy sour - a metric buttload of mouth-puckering grapefruit. Some herbs. The feintest trace of underlying sweetness in the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Uber astringent and dry finish. Down as a Hefe but really this is a fruit beer. Not doing it for me, just way too grapefruit. It's not zesty so much as overkill.

Keg at the Crafty Taproom, Marlow, 13/10/20. Golden blonde with a decent white head. Nose is over the top pineapple chunks .... sweet and in your face, kind of all you get! Taste comprises lemon zest, pineapple cubes, grass, straw, pina colada. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Ok refresher but a little OTT on the pineapple at times.

Draft at Trekkers, Chesham. Poured a slightly hazy golden straw colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and plenty of bubbles. The aroma is malt, yeasty, biscuit, big grapefruit. The flavour is moderate sour, with a light, grainy, super tart grapefruit palate. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. A bit one dimensional, but a beer that certainly grabs your attention.
