Clear and golden with a frothy white head and a citrus hop aroma with a touch of pine. Zesty, fresh and fizzy, hop bite, grapefruit bitterness with some piney notes, a touch of lime marmalade and a dry bitter finish.

Seems like a 'Never The Twain' moment trying to marry tea to roasted malts, but the brewery have found a way here. However, the light roasted Influence evident here would probably come across better without the said previous infusion. Nevertheless, it's not a dominant influence, and the resulting fusion is pretty good.

440ml can bought at Tønne, Leicester. Mid-golden and a little hazy with a massive white head. Light citrus in the aroma, a little sweaty, a little grassy. Sweet taste, much improved from the lacklustre aroma, with light tropical and citrus fruits and a drying finish. Medium body with heavy carbonation. Not great at first but certainly redeems itself.

Cask at Fighting Cock, Bradford - Hazy yellow, white top. Smooth citrus notes, slightly on the sweeter side in the hops, very refreshing and easy going sesher.

Miami Vice made its UK television debut in 1985. Clear blonde with a lower-end wheat character, but not obsolete, and quite drinkable despite low flavours.

27/11/2025. Draft (Green Room Craft) at The Dove Street Inn Winter Beer Festival, 2025. Way too fizzy which spoilt it.

Can from allmyvinyl.
Appearance - deep brown to black with an off-white head.
Nose - toffee dominating the chocolate.
Taste - sweet toffee and caramel with a light vanilla note.
Palate - light bodied, a bit thin while still being quite sweet.
Overall - not for me.
