3 John's. Keg. Hazy orange - gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Palate is airy but has a decent fine minerally crispness. Malts are smooth and sweet enough. Good bitterish fresh orange and orange peel. Spicy tangy tropical fruits ensue. Whisper of Mosaic blueberry. Ripe mango, well buried. Finish brings stronger spice and spicy bitterness. Light pine runs throughout. A clean and slightly sharp edged IPA but with enough malts to avoid the 'hop infused fizzy water' mouthfeel that seems to have become prevalent to me recently. Long spicy linger. Nice one.

Keg at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Yellow and a bit hazy with almost no head. Grainy, spicy and vinous smell with notes of Chardonnay and lemon peel. Tastes gorgeous. I struggle with Hallertau Bland but the sweetness of the oats tempers the astringency. More white wine and some apple skin in the finish. I think this is an incredible beer.
