Beer Number #15 at the Clitheroe Beer Festival 2025. Amber, very mild haze. The Belgian style influences are strong in this one, with a lingering bubblegum sweetness in its aftertaste.

Oldham Beer Festival 2025, beer number 9 of the afternoon. Black with plenty of vanilla in both aroma and taste, although this doesn't stop its smooth texture feeling a tad thin.

Bottle from Wales Ales. Clear gold with thin white top. Some orange citrus being a touch on the marmalade side, melon, light malts. Taste wise its quite sweet with orange peel, bread crust, somewhat leafy with moderate bitterness in the finish. Light to medium bodied, semi-dry, low carbonation. Its OK if a bit dull, more light drizzle than a nice sunrise.

440ml can: BB October 2025. Shared with Ant at my place on 22nd September 2024 during a mini-tasting-session. Pale golden body, short lived white head. Subtle/bland lager/pilsner with no aroma or taste, watery and weak, glad we shared it!

Bottle from Vinomondo, Conwy. The tart citrus hops don't adequately mask the underlying malts and veg. Slightly opaque orange. Foamy white head. Medium bitter. Resin. Spice. Juicy citrus streak. The latter takes pole position. Underlying malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Erm... unexciting stuff. Workmanlike.
