Keg at Horse & Groom, Chobham. Grassy aroma. Light gold. Thin translucent white head primarily clings to the ring. Light bitter. Then an odd umami-boiled veg-biscuity taste comed through.The promised tropical fruits do come.through eventually, albeit weakly. Apparently a previous customer said it tasted like marijuana which I guess is accurate. Low key sour citrus.edge. Light bodied. Watery with a chalky residue. Astringent finish. Not great. Just tastes thin and vegetable like.

[Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence.] A hazy amber pour with a loose cream coloured head; tropical fruit aroma; grainy body with a touch of spice and tropical fruit flavours; and a dry finish. A satisfying APA.

Keg at PoW, Farnborough. Fruity aroma with a resin edge - which then develops more and more coffee. Murky cola brown. A strand of translucent white bubbles for a head. Initial fruity berry sweetness before raw hop bitterness kicks in. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. If there was more a balance between the fruitiness and the bitterness it would be pretty decent. But like a lot of oldschool breweries - this an Ascot beer with new hip craft style branding - the hops don't offer balance so it's overkill which I guess is appropriate for the apocalypse.
