Can. Hazy orange gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry but has a reasonably smooth front end and a decent fine crispness on the back end. Light and thin malts bring an okay level of sweetness. Good bright pine from the quattro of hops. Some pithy dryness that may be hop dust in origin. Decently bright citrus with an undertone of melon, slightly green. Mild but persistently nibbly hop spice. Cooling pine crisp finish, slightly pithy bitter linger. A decent affair but for my palate, I want something less thin and slightly cleaner. I'd still be happy if I was at some dreary function and this was on tap.

440ml can delievered from the Blue Boar, Leicester and drunk at home. Fresh grapefruit and lemon peel in the aroma. It's enticing but not over the top. Fairly sweet but balanced by just the right amount of bittering hop. Long finish with lemon drop candies and a touch of pineapple. I think the word is 'crushable'. I could drink this all night.

440ml can delivered from the Blue Boar and drunk at home. Light yellow, slightly hazy with a ring of loose white head. Pineapple and grapefruit on the nose, some ammonia, some vanilla wafer. Sweet taste, notes of lemonade and pineapple rings. Gentle back-of-the-tongue bitterness in the finish. Low carbonation. Quite nice although it doesn't hang together perfectly.

440ml can as part of a delivery from the Blue Boar and drunk at home. Light to mid-brown, translucent, with spotting of beige/khaki head. Cinnamon and ma0le in the aroma with bready malts. It's sweet, but not impossibly so, and there's some light hop bitterness toward the finish. Okay flavours and sweet spice in the aftertaste. It isn't all that exciting, but it's solid enough.

440ml can delivered from the Real Ale Classroom, Leicester and drunk at home. Dark brown, opaque with a ring of tan/khaki head. Aroma is full of Irish cream, some mint, some Parma violets. Tastes even sweeter that I'd imagined, with a slight gritty bitterness appearing only at the very finish. Velvety body with medium to high carbonation. It's a (very) sweet stout that hides the ABV well.
