Back from the Yorkshire Dales in urban surroundings, so I stick out in full cycling gear, but it doesn't lessen the hoppy sessionable pleasure this collaboration brew brings to my outdoor table. Golden in colour, it's quite smooth with a hint of sweetness that is towards honey, but not quite.

Keg draught at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Very light gold, a slight haze with a massive tight off-white head. Light notes - very light on fact - of berry and orange. A little metallic. Taste is bittersweet, pleasant but not all that characterful. More citrus and berry with a bitter finish. Silky body with little carbonation. It's fine.

Tap Out 3 Times Beer#15. Visited three new Taps today, another new golden sessionable brew at a fourth tap of the day. Hoppy most, mild tropical fruity taste, stated tropical aroma, lots of positivity here.

Bradford CAMRA Beer Festival 2026, Beer#5. Clear mid-brown coloured ale. Plenty of cherry in aroma, with a grittier dark malt influences but still sweet cherry taste.

Pendle Beer Festival 2026 Beer#8. A hazy golden coloured. Its deep tropical fruitiness makes it feel stronger tasting than it is. Fruity aroma too.

Christmas Eve Beers #4. Golden pale ale that's traditional hoppy in taste, easy and sessionable rather than seasonal.

Holmfirth 'Last Of The Summer Wine' Tour & Bar Crawl, Beer#12. Good looking appearance being hazy golden in colour with a small head. First beer in the next conurbation from Holmfirth. Clegg's house in the show was also in the next conurbation up the valley. It has a sweeter tropical fruit aroma and taste, which is towards passion fruit in the taste part of this brew, citrus still available in aroma.
