Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and crispy. Light malts, light creamy sweetness. Pleasant light nibbly hop spice. Slightly tangy orange and orange peel. A touch of fresher orange emerges and there is a whisper of tropical fruits. Light finish. Nothing out the ordinary but good drinking.

Can from the Offie, Leicester. Amber, hazy but translucent with a loose off-white head. Melon, tropical fruit and quite a lot of alcohol. Bittersweet taste, slightly harsh with melon and papaya in the finish. Slightly too punchy for its own good. But despite the balance issues, it's still a fairly magnificent little drop.

Can split at Bodney, thanks to ,12/04/18. Lightly hazed golden amber with a decent beige cap. Nose is caramel, sweet tropical fruits, melon, pine needle, bready. Taste comprises sweet tropicana, pine resin, mango pulp, melon, papaya. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with juicy hop bitterness. Decent enough DIPA if a touch sweet.

Can at Bodney thanks to Dan. It pours hazy orange with a medium white head. The aroma is fresh grapefruit, zesty, bright, juicy orange, toffee and bread. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, bright grapefruit, quite zesty, sugary, chewy, resin and wood. Medium body and fine carbonation. Not a huge amount of depth, but drinkable enough.

Keg at the craft beer Co Holburn. A clear nutty brown coloured pour with a fine light tan head. Aroma is weird mint choc chip, varnish, chocolate. Flavour is composed of hot alcohol, varnish, mint, toothpaste, fucking weird. Palate is medium sweet, sticky chocolate, lowish carbonation. I don't like it.

Keg @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Clear purple with a thick, light pink head. It has mildish nutty notes in both aroma and taste. The closest I got to blueberry was the colour - and this isn't even blue!
