Third of a pint at the Shrewsbury CAMRA Beer Festival on 25th September 2025. Slight haze to the dull golden body, white head. Tropical fruit aroma and taste, so many of the beers at the festival had the same flavours, got bored with this one.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a slightly hazy greenish tinged yellow with a small foamy almost white head. There’s citrus, lemon and floral hops in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet but with a smidgen of underlying bitterness and a light texture. Favour has floral hops and citrus with a little malts also. Hints of grapefruit and kiwi come later. Finish is dry with some sharpness. This is decent – better than I expected.
