Large sample at Ye Olde Fighting Cocks, Oakengates on 29th October 2025. Didn't take to this at all, so couldn't even buy a half. Hazed dull orange, white crown. Tropical fruits with oranges to the fore, all a bit strange, no one else was buying it either!

440 ml can, as Pentrich Buried Slice Raspberry & Blackberry Cheesecake Sour, from Left Field Beer. ABV is 5.5%. Hazy red to purple colour, small and shortlived pink head. Distinct aroma of raspberry and blackberry cheesecake, also lactic acid, no surprises there. Sour flavour with the same elements, also hints of lemons.

Can picked up from Pentrich brewery and posted to Dad's. Had this Tuesday 21st October 2025 after a visit to Stourport on Severn and then Tewkesbury. We had 'Marry Me Pork Meatballs' for tea and then me and Keef went to see Worcester City FC v Bromsgrove Sporting FC at Sixways, Worcester won 3-0. Pours pitch black, shark eye black with a slim beige head. Sticky mouthfeel, bitter, roasty, liquor and then the ice cream party starts but it's actually more bitter and liquorice though the lactose adds a lot. It's a good beer.

Can picked up from Pentrich brewery, parcel sent to dad's and consumed at Mum and Keith's, Monday 20th October 2025. Pours dirty, milky yellow with a small white head. Thick mouthfeel, quite a beast of a beer, there's a huge hoppiness, streaky. There's a tropical fruitiness, bittersweet balance. It's a big beer.

On tap (cask) at the Alexander, Derby Tuesday 14th October 2025 in the company of Dad and Pauline. Pours light hazy colour with a slim white head. Light sweetness and as the description suggests it's a little melon, easy drinking and pleasant beer.

Can picked up in a ten pack from Pentrich and posted to and shared with my dad, Monday 13th October 2925 after a very nice couple of hours in Stockport with Keef Mullin and son Carl. Pours dirty milky yellow/gold, with a white head. Juicy and sweet with a clear nod towards tropical and summer fruits. There are times when it feels that the fruitiness (now soft peaches) is overipe, but it's still lovely, the alcohol is never intrusive and it's well balanced. Nice beer.

Can picked up in a ten pack from Pentrich and posted to and shared with my dad, Monday 13th October 2925 after a very nice couple of hours in Stockport with Keef Mullin and son Carl. Pours murky milky yellow with a white head that swiftly departed. Nice soft mouthfeel, twangy and a little touch of tropical fruit but with a light tart edge. Good but not blowing me away.
