Two Keg Pints before the game inside the Fanzone at Blundell Park on 23rd April 2022 (beat Torquay United 2-1). Just a hint of haze in the golden body, white head. Tropical fruit lead in the nose and taste, with a citrus bite to this stronger brew. Nice in the afternoon sunshine.

Keg pint into a plastic beaker inside the Fanzone at Blundell Park before beating Torquay United on 23rd April 2022. Bright and clear light golden body, snow white crown on top. Crisp and refreshing Lager with a decent bitterness within it's make-up. Not much aroma, but most Pale Lagers don't, ideal sunshine beer though.

Keg pint into a plastic beaker inside the Grimsby Town Fanzone at Blundell Park before the game against Torquay United (Town won 2-1) on 23rd April 2022. Mini-haze to the golden body, snow white head that lasted. Light citrus nature, grapefruit too the fore in both the nose and taste, balanced out with a decent malt presence.

440ml can from Co-Op Louth, watching Witchfinder General. Pours a generally clear gold with a fluffy white head. Lightly citrus nose. Comes across light, pleasantly hoppy, balanced and nicely sessionable, if a little mild by modern IPA standards.

440ml can from Co-Op, Louth. Drunk at our holiday lodge in Louth watching Witchfinder General. Golden yellow appearance, white head. Unfortunately has strong acetaldehyde off-flavours and lemon sherbet which dominated proceedings. Couldn't finish.

330ml can from Co-Op, Louth. Pours a misty yellow, small white head. Aroma presents tropical fruit, ginger spice. Taste is crisp, following a spiced gingery lime sour profile, some mild mango coming into view. A little thin and dry, but fine overall.

Keg @ Docks Beers, Grimsby. Pitch black pour, beige head. Light milky chocolate nose. Interesting milk stout overall, medium bodied, oily palate, good chocolate milk character coming across alongside some soft roast and creamy suggestions. Decent.

Keg @ Docks Beers, Grimsby. Misty straw gold appearance, thin white head. Initially assumed this to be the saison out of three thirds I bought, which came across like a weissbier, whereas this tasted and looked more like a light crisp saison. Very strange. Definitely unusually light with the doughy yeast notes, quite thin and not really a hefeweizen but nicely refreshing for what it is.
