Sample from 44 cl can. Hazy golden amber colour with a medium sized off-white head. Fruity aroma with citrus, caramel malts, and lightly toasted notes. Taste is bitter. Medium body with a creamy texture and an average carbonation. Finishes dry and bitter with grasses and citrus fruits. Nice.

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.

Keg @ Mold Alehouse. Pours a hazy yellow, white head. Soft exotic fruit aromatics. Light on the palate with fresh, light exotics, low bitterness, with a good NZ citrus hop character and excellent drinkability. If there wasn't other beers to try in here I'd have made this a pint.

Can. Turner’s, Sheffield. Vivid, pink gold. Full on haze. Thin and messy, dense, lacing, lasting, white head. Nose has peach and white grape. Some ripe strawberry. Twang of lemon juice. Clean and mineraly backdrop. Taste has a twangy bitterness. Very mineraly. Clean and almost tart on the palate. Soft and foamy carbonation. More twang to finish. Very nearly a great IPA, but it’s a bit sharp, overall.
