Tap at the brewery 10/07/22. Semi hazy gold, small white head. Nice fresh hoppy taste to this with citrus pith, tropical, maybe a hint of apricot, moderate bitterness. Refreshing light to medium body, fine carbonation. Very good.

Can from the Dig Brew shop in Piccadilly Arcade. Pours a murky gold with a thin white head. Aroma of mango, lime, touch of weed. Taste has a nice bittersweet balance. Citrus, mango, melon and drying herbs are the main takes. Nice body for the strength - has some bite, fine carbonation. Good.

Tap at Sommar, Waterloo St, Birmingham. One of their fair well beers having just gone under. 3/4 hazy gold, small white top. Grapefruit, orange and pine with that trademark weed note. Lovely bitter bite to this. I hadn't had a Dig Brew beer in a while but this one reminded me how good they can be. In some ways I rather they just went away quietly as now I'll be moaning to my friends about how good they were and how I wished I had more of their beers.

Tap at Cherry Reds, Birmingham 21/1/23. I was on a session with friends so not too many notes but... It was semi-hazy with small white top. Zesty and pine noted and you could tell it was a notch above the usually pale ale craft beers. Not sure if this will be my last Dig Brew beer now they have gone under. There might be one more I can pick up at Sommar if there is any left this Sunday. :(

Tap at Sommar, Waterloo St, Birmingham. Clear gold, nice tight small white top with excellent lacing. Light toasty and sweet malt with a dank hop. Slightly funky in taste, citric orange, pine, flora. Soft and zingy in the mouthfeel. Good stuff.
