Clear rich gold beer, small off white head. Smooth palate, a little dry, decent fine carbonation. A smooth malt base, trace of unsweet caramel and, an edge-of-perception smoke. Hops bring soft pine and mild orchard fruits, touch of smooth overripe orange. Nice enough, could do with more hops of course.

I'll be making my closest approach to Wales in 2025 tomorrow - just one mile from the border, so it seemed appropriate to raid the cellar for this one bought there a couple of years ago. Golden in colour with a very traditional taste for these isles, it's a hoppy pale ale with a fair bitterness to it.

Lulu's version of 'My Boy Lollipop' only reached number 86 in the UK chart. This 'Lollipop' charts a bit higher in beer lists for me, with lots of subtle tropical fruit alongside traditional tasting ingredients from the British Isles and the combination is pretty tasty, within an easy IPA texture and strength. Tropical notes are most stated in aroma. Bought a couple of years ago in South Wales.
