On tap at Tom’s Tap Crewe. Pours a cloudy peach yellow with a small frothy white head and good lacing. Tropical fruit is the mainstay of the aroma plus hints of wood and peaches. In the mouth it is quite sweet but with a little underlying sharpness. Floral hops to the fore in the flavour but with plenty of tropical fruit and pineapple too. Hints of tangerine and ginger come later leading to a slightly dry and sticky finish. Not the sort of beer I usually go for, but this is quite decent.

Cask at brewery tap. Pours golden yellow with a small frothy almost white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly floral hops with hints of grapes and citrus. In the mouth it is quite bitter with a creamy texture but also a little underlying sweetness. Floral hops to the fore in the flavour as well alongside gooseberries. Some hints of spice and caraway come later – leading to quite a fruity finish. This is rather nice – plenty of taste for the strength.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe – just labelled “Hillbilly Engineering” but the brewed confirmed which version it was. Pours a dark straw with a small foamy almost white head and good lacing. The aroma has floral hops, citrus and mango. In the mouth it starts off sweet but in due course a little underlying sharpness becomes evident. Flavour is mainly peaches, tropical fruits and oranges with hints of passion fruit and lemongrass coming through later. This is quite decent – the citrus is nicely restrained.
