Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy ruby body with a pink head that fades. Lively carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of glazed cherries, cherry cola and mashed strawberries. Flavour of cherry, tart cranberries and a sweet, moreish finish. A sweet, tangy kriek. So much flavour for the ABV.

Can from Against The Grain. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of lemon, spring onion, flower petals and grass. Flavour of lemon, lemongrass and Smirnoff Ice. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Light fizz. This is as good as I hope it would be - it’s juicy, subtly sour and has lovely hippy flavours.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Milky golden body with a thin white head. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of papery malt, cornflakes and orange pith. Flavour follows suit - it’s more papery than fruity. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A disappointing IPA. Polly’s hoppy beers are either weirdly papery/pithy or world class hop juice.

Can from Great Grog. Hazy deep golden body with a thick off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of papery malt, black pepper and orange pith. Flavour follows the aroma - peppery and orangey. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Light fizz. This is rough around the edges but quite enjoyable. It’s not really a west coast IPA at all.
