Can that Em gave me - cheers! A hazy orange beer with a cream coloured head. Lightly tart, with a flavour of orange lollipops and vanilla mini milk ice creams. Gets a little too sweet as it warms. It's not a beer, but I actually thought it was was very enjoyable and the flavours worked well - as long as it was cold!

Bottle from the buffet car onboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Think this is possibly my first ever train beer? It's amber with an off-white head. It's bittersweet, with an earthy woodland bitterness balanced against treacley toffee malts. A simple but effective traditional bitter; I enjoyed this & would love to try it on cask.

Can from Castle Howard Farm Shop, near Malton. Clear, vivid gold colour with a thick and lasting white head. Nice honey flavour up front - so much so that I checked the ingredients to see if it had honey added (it hasn't). Sweet lemon comes through with a touch of grass in the finish. Some might find it on the sweet side for a lager but I rather enjoyed it. Nice one.

Can from Cobbett's Real Ales, Dorking. New brewer & new region for me. Black with a beige head and a gentle fizz. Chocolate up front, some roastiness, a light berry note and a wisp of car tyres. Spice and whisky to finish. Good rich mouthfeel on this. Decent stuff, heady for the strength. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Can from Allington Farm Shop, Chippenham. New brewery for me. Hazy orange coloured with a white head. Spicy up front, plenty of clove and pepper. Barbequed pineapple and banana come through, and there's lemon in the mildly bitter finish. Nice, and a little bit different.

Bottle that my lovely wife bought me. Clear, near colourless with just a hint of bronzing. Some white wine acidity up front before creamy vanilla comes through, some citrus hints, porridge, almond, booze, rice pudding and a spicy finish. Intriguing and enjoyable. I liked this.

Bottle from Cobbett's Real Ales, Dorking to reach 20 Northumberland rates. Deep amber rather than ruby, with a light prickly fizz and a beige head. Nice plummy aroma, with wheat chaff, summer berries, toffee and malt. Sweetish but with a dry and gently bitter finish to balance. Rustic but rather enjoyable; would be best on cask with a ploughman's sat outside a traditional country pub.
