Can courtesy of Dad, cheers Dad! Had this at Scott and Mandy's, Dumbleton, Worcs', Friday 8th October 2021, listening to Autechre. Pours amber with a white head. In the mouth this is sweet, perhaps too much residual sweetness here, caramel, syrupy and sometimes dried fruit but all a little bit toned down and shy. I wasn't a big fan and didn't finish it, nothing wrong with it, just not really floating my boat, on the plus side despite the abv it was very easy drinking and certainly displayed the usual barley wine characteristics but depth of flavour just wasn't there for me.

Can courtesy of Dad, cheers Dad! Had this at Scott and Mandy's, Dumbleton, Worcs', Friday 8th October 2021. Pours warm orange/gold colour with a white head. Nice bitterness, quite thick in the mouth, warming, fruity, hoppiness shows, a little streaky edge, a little soapy edge.

Can courtesy of Dad, cheers Dad! Had this at Scott and Mandy's, Dumbleton, Worcs', Friday 8th October 2021. Pours hazy light gold colour with a white head. A touch thin, a little peachiness, not much in the way of bitterness. Ok.

Can courtesy of Dad, cheers Dad! Had this at Scott and Mandy's, Dumbleton, Worcs', Friday 8th October 2021. Pours murky yellowy colour with a white head, some hop sediment. Juicy, tropical, not bad but not amazing either.

Cask at Creaky Floorboard, Derby. Pours lemon yellow with no discernable head. Aroma is not pronounced, but is of grape juice. In the mouth the texture is creamy with floral flavours to the fore – elderflower and grape. However, the further into the glass you get, the hoppier it becomes. All leading to a dry finish. A session IPA? Not hoppy enough in my opinion.
