Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild haze on this gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, sweet enough. Pretty perfumey back end, like the candy element of modern Mosaic but, on steroids, touch of soap. Crisp cooling pine. Some smooth citrus and a little peel on the back end. Light semi dry finish. An odd duck.

The full moon just passed before consuming this beer was called the Wolf Moon. This beer passing into me is purple coloured with fair amounts of dark and red berries available within a light sourness, available in both aroma and taste.

The beer name is exactly what I was thinking when it was served to me! A hazed paler golden coloured cask brew with passionfruit dominant in taste, apricot gets more of the light aroma.
gave a cheers!

The name of this beer gives me images of John Carpenter's film 'Assault On Precinct 13'. This beer isn't as deadly with a sticky-sweet texture and taste, its praline chocolate notes are stated and continue in a lingering aftertaste. Verging on rich, it's nevertheless a very flavoursome crafted stout.

A beer name to celebrate Boris Johnson's government! He was born in the USA and this is distinctively West Coast style and appearance. Hoppy in the main, sugars compliment, all very tasty.

The first of three new beers, in three different styles at Pomona Island's city centre bar in Manchester. Starting with a sweet raspberry effort, that works well with the soured style as there's a bit of both to enjoy, and the fusion is good. Raspberry dominates aroma and taste. Hazy deep red appearance.
