Half-pint, cask ale at Wobbly Duck, shared with Finn. Dotted spots on the glass, filmy layer, clear warm golden body. Moderate oily hops on the nose, floral scent to it. Decent hop fruity flavours, orange and grassy hops. Semi-sweet fruity finish. Fair enough. (Newcastle upon Tyne, 19.03.2024).

Cask ale, half-pint, shared with Finn at Bridge Hotel. Clear mahogany coloured body, filmy beige head, clingy lacing. Toffee and bread-like malts on the nose, promising. Caramel and toffee to the taste character together with a bite of dark fruits. Fair bittersweet tail. Easy to drink. Pretty good. (Newcastle upon Tyne, 18.03.2024).

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from Northumbrian Gifts and drunk at home. Light to mid-orange gold and fairly hazy with a good-sized white head. The aroma I am getting is mostly grapefruit with slight echoes of lemon zest and berries. Well-balanced taste, pretty sweet at first with a nicely placed bitterness right near the finish. The body's pretty weighty for an IPA with medium carbonation. Enjoyable.

440ml can as part of a delivery from Northumbrian Gifts and drunk at home. Note that the can advertised Ernest, Jester and Olicana hops, but otherwise the packaging was the same. Quite light golden in colour, clear with a small white head. White grapefruit aroma, tangerine and grassy notes in support. Lovely malty character to the sweet taste alongside the grapefruity hop. It’s a very light beer as befitting the ABV. Shortish finish. Watery body, spritzy carbonation. Very enjoyable overall.

440ml can as part of a delivery from Northumbrian Gifts and drunk at home. Light reddish-brown, mostly clear with a massive loose off-white head. Earth, wood, red berry, light turps, strong iced tea in the aroma. Bittersweet taste with a lovely woody funk, gentle chalky bitterness in the rounded finish. Medium body with slightly heavy carbonation. A gorgeous bitter.

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from Northumbrian Gifts and drunk at home. Very light yellow gold, clear with a quickly dissipating white head. Malty aroma, floral hop with some lemon zest. Bittersweet taste, lots of malt sweetness, light fruity bitterness in the finish. Watery body with medium carbonation. It’s clean, crisp, but just that little dull.
