320ml bottle from Umrah Supermarket, Leicester. Pour is a peachy orange/tan, clear, no head, some visible carbonation. Aroma has some malt, but otherwise it is laden with artificial peach. Taste is possibly the sweetest beverage I have ever had. Lots more peach here, and I’m almost gett8ng used to it. Notes of caramel as well. Medium body, maybe a slightly oily texture, with less carbonation than it looks as if it would have. Honestly this was a struggle due to the sweetness.

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Light gold and completely hazy with a medium-siEd uneven layer of white head. Light fruity aroma of melon and pineapple, some pink grapefruit and satsuma. Taste has that wonderful oat sweetness but there's an intense balancing bitterness from the hop. More pineappke and touches of lime here. Slightly astringent in the finish.light body, tight carbonation. Not bad!

Handpull cask at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Dark brown with a thick khaki head. Massive aroma of roast malt, some treacle, salted caramel. Lush. Complex taste with a sweet maltiness to start, followed by a deft bitter turn and overlaid with a salty almost umami character. Body is a bit light and flat, but otherwise just incredible.

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester light to mid-gold and maybe a little hazy with a firm white head. Malty aroma, some caramel, good bit of mango. Tastes bittersweet, very malt-led. The mango, having done its job, now fades. Bitter finish and aftertaste. A little watery in the body but plenty of carbonation does the trick. All in all pretty good mango pale.

320ml bottle from Umrah Supermarket, Leicester. Light mead-ish gold, clear, no head. Smell is similar to fizzy lemonade but stronger and a touch more sou. Some malty aromas as well. Taste is extremely sweet, lemon syrup, a touch of stone fruit. Uniform all the way down, but I wasn’t expecting subtlety. Thick body for what it is, almost no carbonation. I mean, it isn’t bad, but of course it isn’t beer.

Keg draught at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Light gold and clear with a tight white head. Aroma. Hmmm. Floral notes, sweet herbs, citrus, a bit of white pepper. Sweet taste, more citrus, resinous, a bit of persimmon,with a bitter finish. Wow, this is interesting. Not the top tier of IPAs but it's certainly got personality. Recommended.

Keg draught at the Blue Boar, Leicester. Light gold with a touch of haze and a massive tight white head. Lemony and floral aroma with touches of vanilla. Chalky wheat taste, bright lime zest on the taste sweet with some rounded agave mid-sip and a slightly bitter finish. A mixed bag but decent. And it's a treat to have this rare style in the UK.
