Can. Color: Milky orange, white head. Aroma: Fruity, citrus and tropical fruit. Taste: Smooth and dense malty base. Very fruity mix of pineapple, orange, melon, some stone fruit, hints of mango. Over moderate sweet, light bitterness. Over medium body, just below average carbonation. Hoppy fruit juice. I was hoping for some more bitterness. Ok overall.

Hand pulled half pint, then a full pint in Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on 8th December 2025. Clean and clear bright amber body on top an off white crown of tight bubbles/foam. Caramel sweetness married around some spicy berry action and an earthy undertone. Really enjoyed it, hence the pint after my initial half.

Pigs Ear 2025. Gravity. Good fun. Impressions of toffee without the sweetness. Some toasted malts, mild earth hop, biscuit, creamy toffee accents. Fairly dry finish. Nice.

No growing needed with this one, instant exotic fruit notes available, crisp and everything is appealing. It has a good nose in this respect too.

On tap at That Beer Place, Chester. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a medium sized foamy tan head and good lacing. The aroma has dough, honey, malts and hints of custard. In the mouth it is decidedly sweet, but with a little underlying sharpness and a creamy texture. Flavour has roasted malts, lactose, custard and dough. Finish is chewy and slightly sweet. This is quite nice.

30/10/2025. Cask at Norwich Beer Festival (Castle Social). Good pour. Big sweet chocolate fondant aroma. Very sweet chocolate cake taste. Decent body. Aptly named. Enjoyable but a bit Bobby Ott on the sweetness to enjoy too much of.
