Can from Salt Horse. Hazy orange/golden body with a medium white head. Faint lacing. Aroma of melon rind, green pepper, lemon zest and grapefruit. Flavour of underripe mango, orange and Fairy Liquid. Thin to medium body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft fizz. It’s nice but feels slightly diluted, like 90% IPA, 10% water.

Cask @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Golden-amber with a small head. Has an extremely light hoppy fruitiness. The latter is better in its nose.

Hop Locker 3. Keg. Hazy orange - gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Light malts, thin creamy sweetness. Dry and pretty bitter tangerine and mandarin. Mild mango. Strong bitter hop spice. Mellow orange and a touch of tropical fruits. The aggressive bitterness dies back a bit as the beer warms up but it is still plenty bitter and spicy on the finish. Robust!

Keg at HL3. It pours hazy - cloudy golden with a small white head. The aroma is rich, sweet, very sticky, juicy, oily, resin, weed, dankness, bread, earth and herbs. The taste is dry, bitter, very oily, slick, dank, weed, green, spice, herb, bong rips, minerals, lick of booze, over ripe fruit with a drying and green finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. A bit too savoury perhaps, but enjoyable enough.
