Can. Morrison’s. Hazed up pale straw gold. Milky swede. Milky on the nose too. Twangy hop. Pretty green and mulch like. Taste is sweet with a green hop bitterness. Drinks easy despite the overwhelming milky oaty thing. Moderate bitterness to finish. It’s pretty much how you’d expect it to be. Fair play it’s fresh though and it’s a cheap tick.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Different design now. See pic. Quick rate because last rate disappeared. Clean enough with a bit of a wood shavings thing. Earthy bitterness.

Bottle. Mitchell’s Wines. Purveyors of a German tick almost every time you walk in the gaff. Clear pale gold. Thin sturdy white foam. Nose has biscuity malt. Whiff of sour. Some sweet lemon. Taste is light sweet with a good hit of grassy leafy bitterness. Nicely clean and crisp throughout. Snappy bitter finish. Aroma wise it doesn’t leap out the glass but it delivers on everything else you could want from the style. Nice one.

Bottle via the online shop. Light haze on a glowing gold. Solid foamy lasting white foam. Nose has tangy wheat. Cut oak. Grassy citrus hop. Fair amount of funk. Taste is quite tart and tangy. Some hop leaf bitterness. Drinks well at the 6.5 although the carbonation as it stands is way too high. Tart hoppy finish. I feel like this and the Cherry Reds that have just been released have a way to go before they’re spot on.

Bottle via the online shop. Not too lively a pour. Sits hazed copper red with a slim ring of just off white foam. Nose has oaky old school wine. Like it’s been in the glass overnight. Vanilla and cherry juice. Nicely buggy. Taste is pretty sweet and fruity up front with a light tart juicy character. Drinks easy overall although the condition could be livelier. This feels a tad flat and lifeless. Maybe it’ll spruce itself up. Juicy fruity vinous finish.

Can picked up at Rigg and Furrow. Clear gold. Not much of a head. Nose has slightly metallic grain. Whiff of butter. Hops are conspicuous by their absence unfortunately. Taste is semi sweet. Flat and dull on the palate. Low carbonation. Dull and a bit flabby on the finish. Doesn’t deliver.
