16 ounce can bought as part of a delivery from RAD Beer and drunk at home. Carrot juice orange, a little hazy, almost no head. The mango hits me in the aroma immediately, followed by peach schnapps and a little bit of berry in the background. Just as the description said really. Tart taste but not crazy sour. Lots of mango again, a little satsuma, some peach/apricot. Continues tart to the finish. Body is pretty weighty for the ABV and just enough carbonation to give it pizazz. I'm loving this.

440ml can as a gift from my beautiful wife. I think she got it from HoTM in York. Finally getting around to drinking it. Light magenta and a little hazy with a short-lived pink/white head. Aroma of blackcurrant and blueberry, sweet pastry crust. Sweet/tart taste, more berry, fruit roll, leading to slight bitterness in the finish. Light to medium body, medium carbonation. Not bad.

Draught at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Dark brown with aittle translucency and a small creamy tan head. Light aroma, some chocolate and some liquorice, as well as fresh coffee beans. Taste is sweet, with a bitter kickback of heavily moasted malt. Turns fairly bitter in the finish. Loght-bodied with soft carbonation. Thumbs up.

Handpull cask at the Ale Wagon, Leicester. Dark, almost brownish gold, clear with a slightly scummy off-white head on top. Malty aroma, notes of persimmon, stone fruit, melon. Sweet taste, more malty notes hovering over decent chewy hop flavours. Some cherry and tangerine in the finish. Weighty body for the ABV, soft carbonation.

Great pub, although to be honest I'm surprised they made the Telegraph's best pub in West Yorkshire. It looks like an old building, it is out of the way (a brisk 15 minute walk to the northeast of the centre) and very traditional. Eight cask beers, Northern breweries. Some beers are precitable (Landlord) while others are rarer beers from well-known breweries such as Saltaire and Zapato. There's no Craft keg per se but they did a German Pilsner I'd not had as well as a lager from Malaga (Victoria). Prices are fair. Recommended if in Bradford.

Handpull cask at the Corn Dolly, Bradford. Light gold and clear (once it settles) with a small uneven white head. Light aroma of white grapefruit and some orange. Sweet taste with a light hoppy bitterness through to the finish. Body holds up well with soft carbonation. Basic as you like but no worse for it.

'Daddy, we love your beer stories!'
'Yay! They're so exciting! Tell us another one!'
'Yes, daddy, will you tell the one about Brut IPA again?'
'Sure I will. Brut IPA was a style of dry IPAs that were popular in the late 2010s, but disappeared with out a trace.'
'Did you ever see any more of them, daddy?'
'Why, yes, I had one in 2026 by Vocation called Dry Humour. I had in on draught in their Halifax bar.'
[lots of cheers]
'What was it like?'
'Well, it was light gold, hazy with a small film of white head. The smell was big, bready and yeasty and a little bit muddled. Tasted bittersweet, with a touch of lime zest sourness. It finished very dry and with low carbonation as per the style.'
'Was it good, daddy?'
'Well, not really. It was okay.'
'What did you rate it on Brewver?'
'A slightly generous 6.3.'
'Did this mark a resurgence in the style?'
[chuckles] 'Well, kids, that's a story for another evening.'
