Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Beer Festival 2025, Beer#4. Golden coloured and hoppy-sweet in both aroma and taste, with a developing bitterness in its aftertaste.

I once convinced a young colleague of mine that Blood Oranges' actually contained blood! Hazy pale golden appearance. Orange and stone fruit here, but the citrus element is dominant. Very fruity nevertheless and plenty in aroma too.

Found a new craft place for this one, unlikely but is registered with Untappd so Sandinista in Manchester is getting a lookin for my first time tonight given I knew what was on offer before I walked in. This one from their taps is pretty good with the mango, but its sugariness and sweetness gives this hazy blonde beer a sort of cinnamon style edge, it's all fruit though.

It's a shame Schrödinger's cat was never given a proper name!!! His bear beer name could easily be called hoppy and fruity in both aroma and taste, with a balance between the two, with a crisp texture too. Hazy blonde appearance.
