Tap at Sommar, Waterloo Street, Birmingham. I think mine was 7.2%. Light hazed purple with small white top. Creamy vanilla with a pippy blueberry. Creamy mouthfeel, fine carbonation, semi drying, slight alcohol warmth. Fairly simple but tasty.

Tap at Sommar, Waterloo St, Brum. Poured a hazy orange-gold with nice smooth consistent white head. This one turned out to be quite an earthy and pine noted bitter IPA with some grapefruit and citric fruitiness in the background. I found it a bit abrasive and I normally like West Coast style. Medium bodied, semi-drying, light chewiness. Certainly not boring.

I didn't realise this was a mango pale ale at the time and its not my favourite style. As it turned out this one wasn't too bad. Pleasant fruitiness with subtle hopping flavour wise. Certainly not punchy but did have a smooth mouthfeel and a good bitterness in the finish.

Keg at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. Semi-hazed gold with small consistent white top. Strong toffee and banana aroma/taste with some creaminess and hint of malts. Very flavoursome, moreish, smooth mouthfeel. One of this breweries better flavoured pales.

Cask at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. Light-hazed straw-gold with small white top. There is some leafy and pepperiness to this but mostly its stewed cereal, mango and cashmere jumpers. Its ok though, more interesting than most 4% cask pales.

Tap at Sommar, Waterloo St, Birmingham. Semi-hazed gold with thin white head. This had a toasted grain, zingy lime citrus, light breads, piney bitterness to it. Light to mid bodied, slightly resinous. Not a stand out but pretty decent.
