Can from Strong Water - discounted as one week before BBD. Hazy golden body with a white head that holds well. Steady carbonation. Aroma of lemon sponge and peach. Flavour of orange, grapefruit and tinned pineapple. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Fruity and juicy. This is very good, especially considering it’s so close to its BBD. I’ll need to seek out a fresh one.

Can from Against The Grain. Pale golden body with a very faint haze and a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of lemon, spearmint and pine. Flavour of grapefruit and lemon. Medium body with a slick texture. Light fizz. Ooft, this IPA isn’t messing about; it’s bold and bitter. This tastes like an IPA from the time of the IBU wars.
