Keg at Andover Tap, Andover. Aroma is fruity, sugary sweet. Slightly herbaceous. Hazy light gold. Thin foamy white head just sticks to the rim. Flavourwise it has sweet sugary laid back fruitiness. Light herbs ans a hint of resin. Latterly a hop burn. Medium bodied. Creamy. Flat-average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Pleasent. Slips down.

On tap at Dark Revolution Taproom in Salisbury, Wiltshire. A murky golden/orange/yellow coloured pour with a decent white head on top. Hoppy, orange, mango, peach, tropical fruit taste. The aroma is more or less along the same lines. Rich, thick and dank, went down easily on a sweltering afternoon in Wiltshire.

A 440ml. can purchased online from Beautiful Beers while on a recent visit home, and drunk here in Taipei. Aroma: very rich, cafe au lait milk chocolate mix. Appearance: opaque cola, one finger tan head. Palate: light-bodied, oily and slightly tart, softish carbonation; finish is deep roast, rather abrupt. Taste: lightly sweet with prominent roasted notes, coffee trumps chocolate but does not overpower; the surprise sour hit is not unpleasant. This is really good.

Can. A light haze on this yellowish gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Airy smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a decent if mildly thin creamy sweetness. Light cooling pine. Good stone fruits and tropical fruits, very good, soft but also bright and juicy. A little lime on the light and semi dry finish. Very nice job, Krush and Nectaron singing a lovely duet.
