500ml bottle from Marks & Spencer. Pale golden pour, fizzy head dissipates. Sweet grainy aroma, cereal, honey. Taste is sweet up front, honey, bready. Then it gets dry and leaves a dull bitterness on the palate. On the verge of being watery.

Seat but no table at a Wetherspoon for this easy mildly tropical fruit session brew with a crispness. Sat directly under the big screen hence the availability, but the Rugby is over so I'm not on show!

A rare walk to the bar Wetherspoon on a Saturday night, especially this one in central Manchester. Golden session, not quite thin or watery but on the verge. More drinkable than not.

Cask at Briar Rose, Birmingham. Cloudy gold with white head and nice lacing. Mango and dusty book shelf aroma. Nice mango flavour with a citrus bittersweet edge. Finish is grassy with light tropical chewit sweets. Decent.

500ml bottle just called 'Dinga Dinga'. Pale clear gold, slow moving carbonation, thin white head. Aroma of pale malts and a sharp citrus, quite aromatic. Taste is biscuit malts, with an almost sour citrus cutting through, a touch astringent. Light body, moderate carbonation. Below average for the style.

500ml bottle. Pale clear gold, small white head, nice retention. Basic but fruity hop aroma with biscuit sweet malts, simple but pleasant. Taste has a semi-sharp citrus and fruitiness running through a simple malt biscuit profile. There is a good dose of bitterness in the finish to offset the sweetness. Light and refreshing. A typical English traditional provincial brewery beer but one of the decent examples.
