Masses of grapefruit and lemon citrus from the Cascade late hop with herbal dry hop background from the copper hops. Sweetness and body comes from the pale and crystal malts and the black malt adds enough dryness and astringency to keep the beer refreshing. MALT: Pale, Crystal, Black. HOPS: Challenger, First Gold, Cascade

Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a dark ruby with a small off-white head and good lacing. Malts are the mainstay of the aroma, along with some hints of autumn fruits. In the mouth it is sweet and malty with stewed apples and winter pears. A touch of singer after a while as well. Finish is quite dry. It’s OK.

1/3 pint, cask at Greene King Beer Cafe. Remaining beige head to a clear mahogany coloured body, upper part lacing. Moderate stewed fruity smell. Dried fruity taste joined by mid-sweet malts. Malt-fruity end. Fair enough. (Bury St Edmunds 12.11.2021).

On cask at the Corstorphine Inn. Appearance - dark brown. Nose - biscuit and sweet malt. Hint of green apple. Taste - tangy apple again. Something's wrong here. It's going off. Palate - tangy underneath sweet malt Overall - unfortunately this was going off so the scoring is lenient rather than accurate.
