Three Blind Mice Brewery Little Downham, Cambridgeshire

Keg delivered from the Real Ale Classroom, Leicester and drunk at home. Light gold, hazy, with a small white head. Gentle aroma with apricot and a touch of banana. More apricot in the sweet taste, which hangs on to the slightly bitter finish. Light to medium carbonation. Simple and subtle, it's not the sort of beer that knocks me sideways but it's pretty moreish.

Not too much to this. Pale orange in color creation with thin head. Aroma of hay. Mild straw with some bitterness. Ok summer session beer, but even that might leave you wanting something more.

Pours a hazy, orange juice color, with minimal head. Aroma is straight juice, citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor follows. Pretty sweet. The ABV is very well-hidden; no alcohol burn flavors here. This is what they mean when the call a beer a "juice bomb."
