Can. Hazy yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy and somewhat thin palate, fairly dry, decent superfine carbonation. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Minerally and slightly savoury citrus, tangy too. Modest pine. Little spicy orange - tangerine. Mild yellow grapefruit. Finishes thin and fairly dry with the hop spice starting to bite. A bit of an odd duck - fairly thin but still packing some hop punch. But also that savoury minerally thang going on.

Cask @ Cellar Bar, Chester. Pours a hazy - verging on murky - gold, small white foamy head. Aroma speaks of citrus exotic, light stonefruit. Taste is smooth and fruity overall, surprisingly flavoursome and very well-hopped for cask, moderately sweet with some apricot moments. Vibrant exotic cask IPA.

Keg @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Hazy amber-orange with a very thin head. Would probably be juicy if its heavier fizz was reduced somewhat. It's only light hoppy-fruity for it.

Can from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Hazy yellow-blonde with a small head. Juicy enough tasting ale, although its dryness dulls some of the citrus-fruit. It's an easy textured ale though so it slips down the palate well. Citrus-fruity aroma.

Can from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Hazy-cloudy light amber with a small head. Has a strength to it, but its citrus lightly fizzed taste hides this well. Some bitterness, but again its sticky-sweet texture dulls this. Its aroma provides its best blast of fruit.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines, Sheffield. Fully hazy, slightly dirty, orange gold. Froth of off white head. Nose is nicely juicy, punchy, peachy and citrusy. An element of savoury in there. Touch of pine. Taste is sticky sweet with an earthy, savoury bitterness. A lot metallic, almost. Medium body. Oily on the palate. Fine carbonation. Short bitter finish. Smells pretty good, but it does trail off somewhat, thereafter.

Keg at Mill Hill Cask, Enderby, 16/03/19. Golden amber with a decen light beige cap. Nose is muted with airy malts, grass, grains, light floral whisper, tangerine. Taste picks up a little with orange pith, melon, straw, pineapple, light breads. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying splashed with moderate hop bitterness. Rather whelming and firmly stuck in 3rd gear ... I expected more.

Cask. Shakespeare’s, Sheffield. Very hazy, bright gold. Sticky suds of white head. Nose has juicy citrus. Ripe strawberry. Touch of dank. Touch of herb. Smells good. Taste is sweet, with a light, flowery bitterness. Light to medium body. Fine carbonation. Light bitter finish. It smells great, but does trail off a bit thereafter. Will look forward to further offerings, nevertheless.
