Cans from Cork & Cask and Against The Grain. Hazy bronze body with a thick off-white head that holds well. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of salted pineapple and melon. Flavour of orange sherbet, starfruit and watermelon. Medium body with an oily texture. Soft fizz. This is delicious - it’s unique and tangy. The flavour explodes in the mouth. One of my favourite regularly brewed UK IPAs.

Hazy orange beer, smells of zesty hop. Flavour has orange, hops, a little spice perhaps. Quite fresh tasting. Not that complex but pretty tasty.

Keg at Mother Kelly’s - Bethnal Green. Pours hazy gold with a lasting, creamy white head. Nice beer, lightly sweet, with bready pale malts, melon, soft rindy bitterness. Light to medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Well balanced in the finish, lots of ripening citrus, low rindy bitterness, pale bread sugars. Drinks pretty good.

Big can from Beer Central - Cloudy gold gusher, nose is yeasty Belgian, sweet in the first sip. Lots of bready taste afterwards, lots of fruit. Deceptively strong with the ABV hidden like Wally.
