On tap at Nelson Arms Tonbridge. Turbid pale gold colour lasting white head. Its cold. It's hoppy it's tropical fruit. Its pineapple. It's hazy it's a pale ale. It's fine
Some bitterness on the finish. Not my style but it's it's ok. Good fruit flavours. The citrus hops kick in. It's decent

440ml can [courtesy of Stephan - thanks a lot!]. Jet black colour with huge, frothy to creamy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, completely fading, tan head. Toasty, oaty and slightly chocolately, dark malty aroma, notes of cocoa, hints of oat milk, some dark caramel, whiffs of cheesecake. Taste is toasty, oaty, dark malty with some residual sweetness, hints of cocoa, dark caramel, a touch of oat milk, weak citrusy fruity, hoppy overtones with a touch of grapefruit, cheese cake.
Creamy texture, smooth and soft palate, medium, soft, creamy carbonation.
Well hopped, balanced - not spectacular but nice.

Can. A light haze on this yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head, short lived. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light and slightly thin pale malts, a thin creamy sweetness. Crisp cooling pine. Juicy if slightly thin stone fruits. Light bright citrus. Mild candy fruits. Touch of juicy bright sweet apple on the back end just before a light but pleasing bitterness kicks in. Semi dry finish. A notably light dipa with well delineated hop fruits. Good stuff!

Can from Hop Burns & Black. Looks lovely - deep ruby purple with a huge pink head that lasts a while. Nose is very jammy, fruits of the forest, with a decent yeasty dough. Taste is too sweet, not enough sour, but a bit of lactic at the finish. Creamy mouthfeel, juicy finish, medium-full body. Would be lovely if it was sour, but it's just too sweet and juicy for my liking.
