Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Hazy, slightly murky, gold. Film, and a few bubbles of white head. Peach, and strawberry. A bit leafy. White grape. Bit of lemon. Sweet, and pithy, at the same time. Taste sets off sweet, quickly turning full on, pithy, grassy, skunky bitter. Soft carbonation, with a lightly oily palate, albeit one that gets a bit watery. Finish is long, pithy bitter. Lacks body, unusually.

Bottle. North Riding Brew Pub, Scarborough. Hazy gold. Film, and a few bubbles of white head. Crisp, tart, lemon hop. A little floral spice. Light on the malts. Very zingy. Taste is crisp, crunchy bitter. A light dryness to it. Clean, refreshing palate. Super drinkable. More of the crisp bitterness on the finish. Plenty of punch at the ABV.

Cask. Shakespeares, Sheffield. Clear, copper colour. Bubbly, patchy, lasting, just off white head. Lovely, spicy, juicy, light resin hops to this. Some ripe berry fruits too. Big, toffee malt backbone. Taste is resinous, spicy bitter, with a chewy toffee sweetness. Smooth, quite rich palate. ABV isnโt apparent, mind. Finishes long bitter, with a lingering lip coating sweetness. Ridiculously drinkable. Fantastic. (My last rating was the best cask beer Iโd had in ages. Then I had this...).

Bottle from Drink?, Hebden Bridge. Golden-amber in colour with a bubbly head. Has a soapy-stewed fruit aroma and taste with a light bitterness attached. Quite strong but not overbearing.
