Keg @ Jack In The Box, Manchester. Crisp, and a cloudy light dullish yellow, with a small head. Its Belgian styling has a mild sourness to it in both its aroma and taste. The strawberry is similarly mild tasting.

Bomber. Pours misty gold, white head. Aroma has some soft strawberry and citrus. Taste is fairly light, strawberry notes dissipating somewhat, with crisp, tart Belgian yeast funk, lightly peppery. Breezy, lightly fruity grisette, ok but flavours could do with a little boost.

Dan's Stag. Beer Emporium. Bristol. Keg. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and fairly dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Modestly sweet malts, light cream. Reasonable citric fruits and tropical fruits. Little spice. Light dry finish. Lines brew styles that should not be sour but are but then their sour beer isn't. Go figure!
