A bold, bright 5% American Pale Ale that stirs the senses with a crisp bite of citrusy hops and a smooth, malty backbone. Light enough to start the day, wild enough to keep you on your toes.

Can. Dram Shop. Clear gold. Slim bubbly white head. Nicely old school caramel forward malts. Shelf turd kind of vibe. Hops come across piny and ripe citrus. Bit of herb. Taste is light sweet with a good Buxton bitter bite. Drinks easy. Bitter finish. Yeah old school this. Pleasant surprise. Best Buxton pale in ages.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 17 Apr 2026) Golden colour with creamy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with mandarin, herbs and citrus. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, mandarin, apricots, resin, herbs, bread and a balanced citric/herbal bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Hoppy and refreshing. Nice one.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours loaded gold, fairly transparent, with fine white foam. Aroma is a little herbaceous and toffee, with dinner little funkiness once warmer. Body is creamy, with moderate carbonation. Taste is medium bitter, with a good malty background. Final is fairly long and bitter.
