(Cask at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell, London, 27 Nov 2017) Golden colour with foamy, white head. Fruity nose with apples, rhubarb and tropical fruit. Fruity, sweet taste with notes of apples, rhubarb, mango and a slight rhubarb tartness in a fairly sweet finish. Medium body, quite sweet. Too sweet for my liking, but there are some enjoyable flavours here.

Half at a pub in Islington for no other reason than we wanted to try it. It looked ok in the glass and the aroma was all mango, which was quite pleasant. The taste was all mango flavouring that, to me, tasted artificial beyond the first sip. We abandoned the glass and had whiskeys instead.
