Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#66. Dodging bad weather in Ryde. Not a bad thing to do with this paler golden brew on the table. Has a somewhat bittered hoppy tropical and exotic fruitiness. A touch of mango in aroma.

Beer 13 at the Wigan Beer Festival 2025. First beer that was pulled as a half despite the fact I always drink and ask for third measures at festivals. This one is different to all before being very creamy-hoppy in design, decent for it too.

Thin beige head on a hazy dull golden coloured body.
Orange & zesty aroma.
Medium bodied, lightly carbonated with a clean back.
Orange, melon, mango & exotic fruit tastes with a sweeter citrus finish.
That's a tasty one.

Cask at Petersgate Tap, Stockport. Pours a murky peach with minimal almost white head. There’s peaches and oats in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy but with some underlying sharpness. Flavour is mainly floral hops but with some elements of melon, peach and tangerine too. Sweetness lasts into the finish. This is OK, but not my kind of beer at all.

Hand-pulled pint in the Pheasant Inn and Brewhouse (Wellington, Shropshire) on 15th January 2025. Bright light golden body, white head that lasted. Citrus front with a piney arse, liked it.

Hand-pulled half-pint on 9th October 2024, Pheasant Inn and Brewhouse. Clear and clean golden body, white crown. All a little subtle really, hop forward but lacking 'oomph' and depth, some light malt action for semblance of balance but it wasn't as I'd hoped.
