Can at Moon Under Water Spoons, Lesta Sqwar. Hazy-opaque opaque pale gols. Thick foamy white head. Flavourwise it's bitter. Resin and quinine. Light-medium citrus. Underlying malts. Light-medium bodied. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice enough.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 8 Aug 2025) Golden colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, grass, herbal hops, a touch of resin and lemon peel. Fruity, hoppy taste with citrus, lemon peel, grass, wheat crackers, pine needles, resin, and a balanced citric/floral bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Hoppy, bitter and well made WCIPA. Very nice.

Sheffield CAMRA Beer Festival 2025, Beer#9. Deeper clear golden in colour. Hoppy ale with a very pleasant session texture despite perhaps an above session strength.

Sheffield CAMRA Beer Festival 2025, Beer#20. Hazy.amber and very drinkable for its strength. Somewhat stewed fruity, there are tropical notes beyond these that elevate the brew. It's a strong specialist brew though so don't expect to make it a session.

Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Beer Festival 2025, Beer#11. Classic style stout, milky, not too roasted, the coldest beer in the festival for me given gloves would have been handy for this one. Steady brewing here.

Hand pumped at Malto, Riccione, Italy. Pours a loaded brilliant gold, transparent, with very fine white foam. Aroma is earthy, a little malty. Body is average, with no carbonation. Taste is balanced by a nice earthy bitterness. Final is average.
