Handpull cask at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Golden brown, clear with a small ring of off-white head. Woody tang, note of turpentine on the aroma. Sweet and tangy, full taste for with ABV, touch of white pepper. Bitterness creeping in for the finish. It's kind of dull but certainly drinkable.

Sacramento Sun from Tollgate Brewery

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 6.5

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap, Leicester. Middling gold and clear with a film of off-white head and good lacing. Aroma of pomelo, physialis, tomatillo. Very odd and intriguing. The taste is sweet and spicy, concentrating on orange zest and a touch of squash. Bitter and a bit malty and metallic later on. Light body with carbonation on the heavy side. Weird but a good weird.

Keg draught at the Queens Road Tap. Lght gold, a fair bit of haze, with a very small white head. Uneven lacing. Aroma of satsuma, boiled sweet, lemon zest, hint of metal.

Black Mesa Taco Hitbox from Azvex Brewing Company

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6.5 Flavor 7 Texture 7 Overall 7

440ml can bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Mid- to dark golden orange, hazy with a film of white head. Fruity aroma, lots of dank citrus, grassy notes, a touch of metal. Mostly sugary sweet taste with a little citrus-like dank hop bitterness near the finish. Medium to thick body for the ABV, medium carbonation. Decent if not their best outing.

440ml can as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Light and hazy yellow gold with a short-lived white head. Bright berry and laden with tropical fruit in the aroma. Taste brings more fresh berries, melon, lemongrass and a little bit of vanilla. Sweet all the way down. Thick body for the ABV, soft to medium carbonation. Great.
