Bottle. Mr. Pickles, Sheffield. Very hazy, dark orange. Messy, blotchy, lasting, clingy, white head. Good looker. Nose has a load of mango flesh. Orange rind. Creamy malts. Some lemon and lime hop. Smells like a tropical fruit breakfast drink. Taste has, as you’d expect, a fruity sweetness. Turns light, orange zest and pithy bitter. Light to medium body. Foamy mouthfeel. Finish has plenty of sticky lippage, with some citrus on the close. Juicy.

Cask @ Beerhouse, Bradford. Clear golden with a thick creamy head. Has a mild strawberry fruitiness, with a good smooth mouth feel.

After a while it is apparent that this is home brew

Cask at the The Victoria Inn, Colchester. It pours black with a medium beige head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, dark chocolate, liquorice and plum. The taste is pretty bitter, rich roasted malts, charred wood, ashy, liquorice with a dry, charred finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Good hit of bitterness. Decent cda.

Cask at the Wellington; hazy chestnut brown pour with a bubbly beige head, aroma has some roast and light citrus, taste has dark chocolate, hint of pine, some citrus and roast.

Cask @ Brewfactory Bar, Bradford. Cloudy amber with a creamy head. A little dense in the palate for a summer ale, it has a mild, slightly stewed fruit character.

Cask. Portland House, Sheffield. Clear, dark brown. Thin, dense, lasting, sticky, pale beige head. Nose has fruity coffee bean. Roast malt. Notes of bitter chocolate. Some fruity, piny hop. Smells more robust porter than BIPA, to me. Taste is dark chocolate, vine fruit bitter. Some lip sticking sweetness. Full body. Fairly smooth. Vinous and roast malt bitter finish. Lacking hops.

Cask @ Drink? Hebden Bridge. Pale golden with a small smooth head. Smooth tasting with a citrus lemon aroma and taste

Keg at the bow bar. Pours black, nose is coffee, roasted, liquorice, taste is sweet, toffee, liquorice, coffee, quite fruity.
