500ml bottle from Aldi - Clear amber body, blotchy white head. Fairly sweet aroma of apricot, grapefruit and I guess it’s melon or nectarine too. Taste starts citrus rind, bitter sweet grapefruit then a bit of barley-cum-grain character.Long dry citrus finish. A good old thirst quencher. Near Wild Heaven.

Bottle. Aldi. Holy shit! A £1.29 beer from Aldi that actually has hops in it! Pale amber with a soft haze. Thin, dense, lasting, white head. The Nelson and Sorachi stand out straight away. Nicely punchy hop, with soft, sweet bready malts in the background. Touch of flora and spice. Taste is lightly sweet, with an earthy, spicy bitterness. Medium body. Fine carbonation. Long, lightly spicy bitterness to finish. Really good, and then factor in the price, and it’s great.

Cask at JDW Eastbourne. Strange aroma, of pizza sick (???). But the taste is absolutely lovely, full of wonderful mosaic hops. Very drinkable.
