Went to Spanish restaurant in Hinckley over the weekend and had 1/2 of this. Inedit Estrella Damm. It was crafted by Ferran Adria the chef behind "El Bulli".
The flavours are Coriander, liquorice and orange peel. Went well with tapas.

Vision Quest from Turning Point outta York. Damn I dig this one. Juicy mosaic all the way. Perfect carbonation, no hop burn, subtle mango.
The Larkin is decent too. Another newish (I guess) Irish brewery, it eschews oats and majors on trusty C hops with some Vic Secret for a sticky pineyness.

Tja! I know all the hipster brewers have their preferred tropes, but wtf is it with purveyors of ye olde reale aele that makes it obligatory to have some kind of farm animal reference name.

Popped into the bottle shop and emerged with these:
There were 2 of the Cloudwater/Verdant collaboration but one can never made it home, it got analysed by the Taproom barstaff (well, they discount my beers...). Some mingling of West Coast IPA with East Coast dry hopping - ''you could call it a Midwest IPA'' it says on the can - and a very intense double dry hopped kind of flavour.
Now about to embark on the Canopy Oyster Stout. Wish me luck.

Fourpure appear to have been mucking around at beer making with Thornbridge. This is their Cocoa Wonderland, a porter. Although I reckon 4pure are masters of the dark beer arts and very good with handling flavours, this one is a bit cocoa+++, so I was disappointed.
Behind the porter there's a pint to the left which looks exactly like the beer I'd just drunk - a Mango Halcyon IPA - another Thornbridge/4pure collaboration, though it also had the wording ''Imperial'' after the IPA. Maybe it's an Imperial Pale Ale...? This one is pure full-fruit mango marmalade! I say this as a compliment. Slightly bittererer than most 4pure beers, the bitterness tangos with the mangos in mouth tanging maramaladitude. It's not often you can get to say that. Recommended!
Currently consuming a Track Sonoma Pale. Pleasant enough.

I've had an R32 and an R23. Their R32 wasn't just a pale, it was a Paalee and, for the record, was rather good. The R apparently stands for Release. It's only slightly less confusing than BBNo's style|recipe format. They seem to be making up for the simplicity by giving them daft names to go with them.
