Keg at the Wolf, Bingoham, 23/06/18. Hazed golden with a decent off white cap. Nose is ripe tropical fruits, juicy citric flesh, melon, straw. Taste comprises soft breads, light yeast tickle, mandarin, apricot jam, citric pith, bread dough, tangerine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying spiked with juicy hop bitterness. Decent number but if I were blind tasting I'd have had this as an APA!

Keg @ Dead Crafty Beer Company, Liverpool. Light golden with a small head. Coffee is prevalent in its aroma and evident in its taste too. Its low abv does tell in the latter aspect though.
