Andrew Lord is drinking a Pale Ale: Azacca, El Dorado & Mosaic by UnBarred Brewery at The Boot
Oh! that’s really remarkably pretty, blackcurrant & blueberry jam scattered with slivers of ripe pear, mango & pineapple flesh, jelly tots, pithy tangerine segments & some leafy aromatic herbs atop oaty malts; then sweet jammy notes, soft spice & pine sap

[Iridescent gold] Green apple peel (again), nutty, husky malt, candy sugar & peppery, woody ground spice on the nose; taste is candied apple & pumpkin flesh, floral, peppery noble hop spice bitterness atop nutty, very husky malts; then peppery potpourri.

Muted aromas of pineapple rings & passionfruit flesh, scattered with some grated green apple peel & dried herbs; taste is bolder, with bruised green apple, juicy pineapple & sultanas atop thin oaty malts; then peppery dried herbs & woody old pine needles.
Andrew Lord is drinking a Caught Up In Reverie by Cloudwater Brew Co. at Beer Shop | St Albans
Strange aroma & taste of candied grapefruit dipped in ground spice, perfumed berries, smoky black tea leaves & a pithy tangerine segment dipped in gloopy pineapple purée, atop thick, oaty malts; then browned pine needles, tea tannins, dried mint & spice.
This is odd, pineapple with aromatic leafy herbs & wet hops very sparingly drizzled with heather honey on the nose; taste is zesty orange boiled sweets & ripe melon flesh, atop soft malts; then unexpected piney, very peppery hop-burn and steamed spinach.
