Can from LCB, consumed 3 months before BBE. Hazy orange-gold with white head. Nice hoppy aroma of orange, mango, peach, pineapple, pine, hint of dankness. Taste is similar, lovely fruitiness, some zest, smooth malt, nice long bitterness. Medium bodied, fine carbonation. Excellent

Can from LCB, consumed 5 months before BBE. Pours a chestnut brown/dark amber with beige head. Aroma of malts with brown sugar, bread, caramel, hint of nuttiness and spice. Taste has notes of caramel, caramelised sugar, brown bread, dried citrus peel, somewhat nutty. There is also a hint of spicy hop but could do with more of that. Good.

Tap at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. Hazy dull orange with smooth white top, good lacing. Notes of caramel, orange, grapefruit zest, passionfruit. Medium bodied, creamy fine carbonation, low but long bitterness. Served a bit too cold and I didn't have the time for it to warm up. Nonetheless, its a very nice semi-rich creamy pale ale.

330ml panda from LCB at 7%. Hazy golden brown with off white consistent top. Aroma is quite sweet with notes of caramel, citrus, mango, green funk. Taste of a pithy mixed citrus with a herbal bitter mini-punch that mellows until a late juicy hop burst. Medium bodied, slick but a touch of mineral dryness towards the end. Enjoyable.

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Pours black with a small beige head. Roasted malts, chocolate, liquorice and lactose come through with a decent oomph. Bittersweet. Slick and drying mouthfeel. Good.

Can from Candy & Liquor, Birmingham. Light hazed dark gold, tight white head. Citric and pine noted aroma with orange zest and resin. Taste of marmalade, sweet malts, pine, light hop tingle, bitter finish. Medium to full bodied, slightly chewy, fine carbonation. A really nice example of the style.

Can from Candy & Liquor, Birmingham. Quite a hazy gold with small white head. Very tropical aroma with mango notes, also some green hops and pillowy malts. Taste seems to reflect this, sweet, more on the underripe tropical side, citrus pith, drying moderate bitter finish. Medium bodied, slightly chewy. Slightly on the sweet resinous side and just a touch off-balance for me. Still a good beer but just a notch below Pentrich's usual standard for IPAs (I usually give between 3.8 and 4.2 for their IPA brews).

Can from Candy & Liquor, Birmingham. Mahogany with small off white head. Toasted malt aroma with nuts, berries, dusty hop. Taste is quite malty and sweet but with distinctive berry and plum notes, some caramel. Slightly bitter with hop tingle in finish but could do with more. Medium bodied, fine carbonation. Good.

Tap into bottle from lowcostbeer.com. Murky golden amber with small white top. Orange and peach aroma with some sweet stewed fruit and herb notes. Taste of orange, apricot sweetness, pine, tropical tang, milk bottle chewy sweets, herbal notes in the finish. Moderate bitterness, medium+ bodied which results in a nice complex hoppy aftertaste with fruity and spice notes, chewy. Very good sweet fruity IPA with enough bitterness to prevent it being overdone. Pentrich always manage to get good flavours and variety from their IPAs and this is no exception.
