Sweet and orangey, which lingers as a pleasant aftertaste.

Can from Beer52. Pours a nice fairly thick black with creamy beige to tanned head. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee, hint of dusty spice, slight yeast. Taste is very roasty, ash like and coffee but there is just enough sweetness and hint of blackcurrant and caramel to give this a nice contrast. Slick to chewy medium body, very rounded. Excellent.

Can from Beer52. Semi hazed light gold with small white top. Aroma of melon, grass, berry compote, stale socks; what a combo. Taste has decent soft tropical fruit with a slight tang at first, then melches into toasted coconut, and sadly a stone fruit and cardboard like oxidisation. There is a nice light+ sessionable slickness to the body which in part counters this but its not great.

Can from lowcostbeer, consumed 1 month past BBE. Hazy orange with small off white head. Lovely tropical aroma of orange, mango, pineapple. Taste is sweet and tangy, citrus and tropical fruit come through well, slight caramel noted malt, alcohol does come through a touch. Moderate grassy to herbal bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel.

Boozy, rich chocolate with slightly tart cherry cutting nicely through the sweetness. Very good.

Cask @ Café Beermoth, Manchester. Clear golden with a glow and a head. Steady, perhaps understated tropical and stone fruit mix, but it's evident enough, within a very easy drinking texture.

Cask @ Café Beermoth, Manchester. Tawny-amber with a creamy head. It has a creamy-smooth texture and taste too with a lovely mix of pale and dark malts, hopped nose with mild breads. A winning combination.

Cask @ Cafe Beermoth, Manchester. Golden with a small head. Despite an obvious strength, there's plenty of pale ale styling in texture and taste to enjoy here.
