Draught keg at Tønne,.light to middle gold, heaY with a tiny ring of white head. Good lacing. Light aroma of peach, some coconut, a little pineapple and passionfruit. Sweet taste, melon and more peach here, getting less of the passinfruit. Turns a bit biter in the finish. There's a vegetal note I'm not mad about but otherwise nice. Full body for the ABV, carbonation on the heavy side. A good beer, bouyed up even more by the decent 5.7% ABV.

Much more interesting on the nose than in the mouth. Hits everything it should aroma wise, but flavour wise, it’s lacking.

Clear amber gold with a creamy / frothy white head and a faint aroma of fruit malt. Fresh and a little bit fruity, some chewy malt with a click of floral bitterness and a dry finish.

A terrible pun. I can bearlee believe it (or should that be bearlieve it)... keg draught at Tønne, Leicester
Dark brown, ot very translucent with a small khaki/tan head. Aroma of caramel, char, treacle. A little bit of saccharin in the sweet taste. Light bittering hops nearer the finish which seem contraindicative of the burnt notes making it a little bit plastic. Light body, heavy carbonation. Reasonable.
