Can on the TPE service from Edinburgh to Carlisle. It pours clear bright yellow - gold with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, fruity, fruit salad, touch of juicy pineapple, mango salsa and apricot. The taste is crisp, dry, touch of bitterness, fresh, fragrant, touch of grass, slight spiciness, nice depth of fruit, pineapple, apricot, yellow plum, clean biscuit malt base and some floral accents with a longer bitter - dry finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Surprised me how good this was. Fresh, flavourful and moreish. Even better it was complimentary....

Very slightly hazy gold with a frothy / creamy white head and a soft tinned satsuma aroma. Light and zesty, sweet lemon biscuits turns to sharpish citrus bitterness quickly, finishes dry and bitter.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy off-white head and excellent lacing. There’s plenty of citrus and some caramel in the aroma. In the mouth it has characteristics both sweet and bitter with a slightly watery texture. Flavour has mixed hops, tropical fruits and citrus. Hints of spice and grains come later. Some sharpness in the finish. This is reasonable.

Wetherspoon 2025 Autumn Beer Festival. Ale#5 of 26 untried possibilities at the fest. Clear golden hoppy first brew, but underlying fruity notes provide decent sweetish flavour, and a late bitterness.

On this day in 1984 Carl Lewis won gold on the Pacific coast in the Olympic 100 metres final in Los Angeles. Also golden in colour with a creamy head. Hoppy with medicinal floral levels in both aroma and taste.
