Tap. Thornbridge. Hazed yellow. Dense lacing white froth. Nose has mango flesh and puree. Bit of an ice cream thing. Some distant beeriness. Taste is semi sweet with a bitterness that seems quite unique to a mango infused beer. Maybe that’s just me though. Decent body with a nice creamy edge. Bitter finish. Definitely delivers.

Can. Mosheeshwaa. Hazed glowing pale gold. Slim lasting sticky white foam. Looks good. Nose has sweet grape and yellow melon. Lightly oaty. Some citrus. Taste is a tad sweet overall but not to any detriment really. Bit of pithy bitterness. Decent body and easy drinking. Bitterness ramps up to finish. Decent super mercado fodder.

Can. Dram Shop Sheffield. Mostly clear pale gold. Very sturdy bubbly just off white foam. Nose has wheat first up. On top there’s pineapple and stone fruit. Bit of a worty thing going off which spoils things a little. Taste is a little dry and fairly bitter overall. A bit soda-ish on the palate with quite high carbonation. Dry and bitter finish. A bit under par compared with some other recent offerings. Not bad mind.

Bottle from the Ermitage shop opposite the Loon Factory. Soft haze on a dark chestnut brown. Beautiful glossy topped lasting beige foam. Boss. Nose has swift earthy coffee bean on top of dark chocolate funky vinous gueuze. Some light oak and fruity twang. Drinks perilously easy and really smooth. Gets a bit juicy and more funky as it goes along. High class.

Can picked up at the brewery. Re-brew obviously. Hazed glowing gold. Decent sticky white swede. Nose has pineapple flesh. Soggy stone fruit. Bit of pine. Brioche malts. Taste has similarly bready sweetness first up with solid citrusy piny bitterness. Drinks very easy with a bit of twang. Decent bitter finish.

Can picked up at the brewery. Mostly clear medium gold. Slim white foam. Nose has sugary malt. Some ripened citrus. Bit of pine air freshener. Taste has some sweetness first getting nicely bitter. Clean and easy drinking. Decent bitterness to finish. Aroma is slightly off for some reason but otherwise it’s a good easy drinking affair with solid bitterness.

Can picked up at the brewery. Moderate haze on a pale gold. Slim white swede stays the course. Nectaron is up front here. Squishy and fleshy. Nice clean citrus twang. Clean dry grain backdrop. Taste has some sweetness but is mostly zesty and twangy on the bitterness. Fresh and refreshing overall. Good bitter finish. Nice.
