Can from Polski Delikatesy Smaczek, Reading. Hazy yellow with a white head and a middling fizz. Cheap pear up front - that sweet and grainy taste of overripe conference pears. Also an odd and slightly unpleasant marzipan note. Behind that there's actually some fresh, crisp apple and a hint of lemon. Probably the only hint of beer is that it's not as sweet as the pear may have made it. Quite drinkable and refreshing when cold; I'd certainly choose this over sweet fizzy fruit drinks like Tango and so on, but it could definitely do with losing the marzipan.

Bottle from the brewery shop in Lille. New brewery for me. Hazy gold with a large white head. Bready and yeasty with banana, coriander seed, and a touch of orange. Sweetish up front with a spicy and slightly dry finish. A pretty average tripel. Fine.

Keg at the Mad Squirrel, Wycombe. Murky orange with a thin white head. Tropical fruit aroma and flavour which may or may not be papaya and guava, I'm not so good on these less common tropical fruits. Yes, there's some nice tangy lime in the moderately sour finish. Unfortunately there's also quite a bit of plastic - maybe it's meant to represent the wax in a lava lamp? Whatever it is, it's not pleasant. Didn't enjoy this one.

Cask at the Mad Squirrel, Wycombe. Lightly hazed gold with a white head. Peachy aroma, light flavours of tropical fruit and grapefruit with floral overtones. Moderate grassy finish. Sweetish but with a mildly bitter finish. Found it a little watery at first, but got very refreshing and moreish further in. Went down very quickly and satisfyingly actually. A really nice session gold.

Bottle from Waitrose, Wycombe. Deep gold, more fizzy than it needs to be. Up front it's quite sweet considering the bottle claims it's medium-dry; it does have dryness in the finish though. Taste is of tangy apple skins with sweet lemon and a light farmyard hint. Some woodiness comes through as you drink more, and there's a wisp of vanilla in the finish. It's quite drinkable; better than average, but nothing to make it stand out, which matches my general experience of Westons.
