My mind is on a few beers locally starting with this in a beer garden without pixies. It's a very mildly hazed golden coloured brew. Hoppy, gently tropical fruity, which provides about the right amount of fruitiness for this sessionable one.

My favourite Muppet name, but this tropical fruity effort is not blue, but a very hazy slightly danker golden colour. It's very palatable stuff though and moreish.

Cask gravity at New Inn Canterbury. Hazy pale ale lasting white head. New World hoppy pale ale. Okin the mouth. Some sherbet hop. Decent but not my style really. Light hops on the end

Keg draft at the Cornerhouse, Chester. Light to mid-yellow gold, pretty hazy with a tiny ring of white head and a lot of lacing. Light aroma, a little bit messy with a fair bit of apricotty Simcoe.bittersweet taste, juicy with orange pulp, stone fruit, leading to an even more bitter finish. Light to medium body with softer carbonation. Pretty good.

Hazy dull gold with a frothy white head and a fruit hop aroma. Light bodied with a hint of soft chew, mellow fruit hop flavour and a dry finish.

'400 Polka Favorites' is Ted Strikers "Record" in Airplane II. This hazy Polka hops golden brew won't make my top 400 as it's only a fair session with a slightly drab tropical fruitiness, but nothing particularly wrong with it. The fruit feels slightly stewed, but its texture is smoothish and soft.

The last use of the Guillotine in law took place in 1977. 49 years later this guillotine named brew is a little bit drab with its tropical fruit, coming across more watery in texture and taste than it ought to.
