Bottle from Growlers and Cans, Guildford. Sour fruit and malt aroma. Dark opaque cola brown. Creamy light beige head. Immediate sweet edged light sour hit, followed by a bitter streak. Advertised as chocolate and malt but for me it's sour berries that are most prominent. Chocolate only comes through in the finish. Light-medium bodied. Thin but slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. It's fine I guess. Keeps thing interesting but edging towards sickly.

Can from Growlers and Cans, Guildford. Resinous aroma. Hazy orange. Thick and long-lasting foamy white head. Pretty bitter. Quinine. Described as a NEIPA but the juice is obscured by the bitterness. Kind grainy into the finish. But as I drink more it gets fruity. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Dry slightly astringent finish. Looks good but is somewhat basic.

Cask at The Scarbrough Hotel, Leeds. Golden with a head. Has a hoppy session texture and the lack of gluten here is very evident. Also found in Guernsey.
