568ml can from the Offie, Leicester. It pours mid-gold with a muddy haze and a small ring of white head. Strong aroma of grapefruit, pineapple, mint, slightly overhopped smell of scallion. Sweet taste with good fruity hop once it settles down a bit. More mint and a little bit of herbal flavour. Medium body with notable heavy carbonation. It's not the best the Arbor have put out but it's certainly a helluva decent drop.

So, this is interesting. The premises has changed from a pizza place with great craft beer (Martin Bros Micropizzeria) to a craft beer bar that occasionally served food including pizza. Same ownership and the vibe is very similar: clean, stylish, practical. Pretty much full on a Friday night, although the Sudden Death showcase may be a big part of the draw. There's about 11 keg beers with one cask and a can fridge with mire US stuff than I'm used to seeing: Adroit Theory, WeldWerks, Drekker. I always felt that Martin Bros had the best tap list in town, but it was hard to justify going in for just drinks. This feels like the perfect balance.
