Keg at Bootlegger, High Wycombe. I’d had Bloom IPA from the same brewery just before and enjoyed it so much that I decided to follow it up with another of their beers. This one’s a hazy pale gold colour, but there the similarity to Bloom seemed to end. This one doesn’t have big fruity flavours; instead there’s just a thin smear of citrus. It’s rather watery, quite bitter and mildly dry. It’s ok, it’s quite drinkable, but maybe it suffered from comparison to the excellent Bloom.

330ml can @ Chez Sophie. Pours an unclear gold, medium white head. Aroma is soft fruity passionfruit, lime, grapefruit. Taste brings more of the same, very smooth with some underlying biscuity malts. Not hugely fruity, but nicely balanced and drinkable.

Keg at The Small Bar, Bristol, Saturday 4th February 2017 Dark brown with a thin light beige head. Tangy porter with caramel, a little watery coffee and some dark fruits tussling with a light but steady hoppy bitterness. Soft carbonation, it’s good but it’s another porter that I have had lately that fails to really excite. A7 A3 T7 P3 Ov14 3.4
