Can ordered from Beer GB/Beer Ambleside. Aroma has espresso, charcoal with a fruity berry streak and chocolatey malts. Darkest cola brown. Thick frothy beige head. It's certainly fruity in flava - berries and citrus provide sweetness with a sour edge. Followed by medium-heavy bitter matching the aroma with charcoal, coffee plus liquorice. Although as I drink more the flavour profiles seem to clash and almost cancel themselves out. Light-medium bodied. Thin creamy mouthfeel. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Starts off promisingly before just getting less interesting.

Bottle from British Local Craft. Some vague citrus in the nose along with yeast and maybe a hint of ginger. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Pleasant and creamy in the mouth. Flavour is a touch of lemon with butter and caramel. Finish is more profoundly bitter – hops starting to come through properly. It’s pretty much a standard golden ale.

Decidedly fruity and wheaty, pours a hazy pale gold with a big, fluffy white head, and a distinctive aroma of slightly sour raspberries. Has a grainy mouthfeel with a hint of creaminess, and the flavour of tart raspberries comes through nicely alongside some wheat beer sweetness, and a dry finish
