[44cl can of Microbrew Hazy IPA at 3.7% ABV from Home Bargains, Festival Park, Etruria.] A hazy pale straw coloured pour with a loose white head; aroma of tropical fruit and yeast; very watery in the mouth with tropical fruit flavours; then a sour fruity finish with an orange aftertaste. Not bad.

Can from Home Bargains, Salford. Very dark with a small head. Thinner tasting texture than expected but has plenty of aroma with a vanilla sweetness evident, but this spice is slightly more stated in its taste with custard evident too, especially in its aftertaste.

440ml can for a quid from Home Bargains - Pours a cloudy yellow body, no top. Nose is pretty artificial รก lรก watered down Rubicon. Taste is meh, I love mango, but this is pushing it too much.

Can from Home Bargains, Salford Shopping City. Golden with a small head. Hoppy, but its mix of usually flavoursome hops combine here for a very bland tasting effort this time.

330ml can from my local 'Home Bargains' store: BB 24th Feb 2022. Drank at home on 2nd May 2021. Golden pour, light haze, white head. Aroma is a mixture of citrus fruits and maltiness. Taste follows the same lines as the nose; citrusy and malty. I liked it.

Can from local Home Bargains store. Tropical fruits in the nose โ€“ apricot as much as anything. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with minimal white head. Tropical fruits again in the mouth, apricot, mango, tangerine, but with a general strong hoppy bitterness as well. Fruity bitterness in the finish. Itโ€™s pretty much conforms to style but not wildly exciting.
