  • Billy A. is drinking a THE RECTIFICATION OF THE VULDRONAII by Pomona Island Brew Co. at Untappd at Home July 3, 2022
    Softly sour with loads of citrus fruit.
  • Billy A. is drinking a Mangolicious by Laine Brew Co at BeerKat July 3, 2022
    Much better than the last time I had it. Mango dialled back but still a bit artificially floral.
  • Billy A. is drinking a Hickey the Rake by Wylam at BeerKat July 3, 2022
    Lots of fruit and a whack of green, herbal notes.
  • Billy A. is drinking an Intuition by Attic Brew Co. at The Whisky Club Bar And Tasting Room July 2, 2022
    Solidly fruity pale with much more going on than expected. Nectarine and pineapple with a touch of sweetness and a kick of green hop. Very smashable.
  • Billy A. is drinking a Wild IPA by The Wild Beer Co June 27, 2022
    Funky base with layers of grapefruit and mango. Solid bitterness into the finish.
