Keg @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Cloudy amber with a head. Feeling stronger than it is, this is a fruity effort with a higher citrus influence that creates an acidic citric bitterness for the ale.

Can split at L6, thanks to Dave, 27/06/19. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white cap. Nose is ripe citric flesh, bitter orange, dank strokes, grass. Taste comprises ripe citric pith, pine, grapefruit, toasted malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with balanced hop bitterness. Passable DIPA … a touch basic.

Keg @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a glow and a small head. Dryish, but it’s crisp enough to drink from keg, making it a light fruity-hoppy ale.

Cask @ Shrewsbury Real Ale Festival 2019, day 2, St Mary's Church. Pours a misty pink, small white head. Expected some kind of fruity berry-like flavours from the appearance, but it comes across primarily as a standard exotic-led NEIPA, perhaps the lightest floral notes, but generally looks are a bit deceiving here. The beer itself is great though.

Keg at the Orchard Craft Beer Bar, Preston. Pours hazy bright red with a pink-tinged head. Aromas of blueberry and faint coffee. Taste is very sour! Quite a surprise. Lots of fruit, coffee very faint. Tangy finish. Interesting.

This is a nice raspberry stout. Could do with being a bit richer, but it's smooth and the bittersweet raspberry balances off against a little bitter chocolate and some nice maltiness quite well.
