Pours a clear golden colour with a small, thin, off-white head. The aroma is sweet fruit, peach, tinned pineapple, and buttery biscuits. A moderately sweet and fruity taste, sweet malts, tropical fruit flavours, floral hops, and a light bitterness. Ordinary.

440ml can at The White Ball Inn, a Spoons in Tiverton on 26th July 2024. I've been wanting to try this ever since I saw Wetherspoons in the South West were stocking it. The reason having nothing to do with the beer except it's name. Many years ago (late 1970's) I was in Sardinia at a large NATO base and tasked with organising a bus trip for the lads one Sunday. I did a bit of research and found a likely looking beach in a small town called 'Nora'. We loaded up the coach with 45 blokes, two 45 litre jerry cans full of red wine, plastic mugs and pre-prepared bread rolls with various fillings. On arrival (after a sweaty, hot drive) we discovered it was an old architectural site and didn't have a bar, let alone a beach bar. We left within half an hour and the place was renamed 'Bloody Nora' and I've never been back! Anyway back to the beer in question, it's orange in colour, aroma and taste.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol December 2023. Copper in colour, with a slight, white, head. Red berry fruit, a touch of caramel, leafy hops, some spice from the rye and a moderately bitter finish. Good.

Can @ Crossed Peels, Stirling. Golden with a haze and a thick frothy head. Despite pilsner being in its notes this is a hoppy brew that very much feels like an modern ale, and orange fruit dominates its taste, so there's little of that to find here. It's very flavoursome too with a light sweetness about proceedings.

Clear pale brown with a frothy/creamy white head andome toffee and leafy hops on the nose. Taste is sweet malt and berry fruit with some floral bitterness

Cask-conditioned at the E Shed (JDW), Bristol 27/11/2023. Almost black in colour, with a slight, beige, head. Coffee beans, toasty malts, a hint of chocolate sweetness, with a creamy, roasted malt finish with a suggestion of a tang in the background. Ok.
