Can. Coles Corner. Hazed glowing rich gold. Fairly loose thick lasting white foam. Looks good. Unusual this. There’s some yeast strain not generally used in a hazy pale I’m guessing here. Clean bready brioche type malts and pulped pithy ripe orange. Bit of soggy peach. Than a vinous character. Odd. Good but odd. Taste is semi sweet with a moderate pithy orange bitterness. Decent depth of flavour overall with nicely burp inducing carbonation. More of the pithy orange to finish. Happy there’s another Sheffield brewer bringing the out of the ordinary.

Can. Coles Corner, Sheffield. Mostly clear copper colour. Decent pale cream head is fairly open but lasts well. Slightly leggy. On the nose the malts point towards ESB territory. Hint of strawberry flavour toffee and even a light toastiness. Hops come across floral herbaceous and fruity. Bit of a blackcurrant leaf character. Semi sweet to start getting punchy fruity lightly resinous bitterness. Good depth of flavour throughout. Nicely burp inducing levels of carbonation. Lingering bitterness to finish. Ska Modus Hoperandai territory this. Good. It’s never been a hazy pale ale though, as suggested by the blurb.
