A vibrant British-style pale ale with modern hop character. Harlequin, Olicana, and Jester bring bright notes of apricot, orange peel, and gentle tropical fruit. This combines well with a clean, malt base with a small hint of biscuits. Crisp, moderately bitter, and refreshing, it delivers a lively, aromatic balance of fruit and floral depth.

Clear polden pour with a small, somehwat stable white head. Aromas of orange (peel), malt/biscuits. Taste is grapefruit, orange peel/marmalade, malt. OK overall, but not mindblowing.

330ml can via Beer52. Drank at home on 15th February 2026. Slight haze in my dull golden pour, white crust on top. Very surprised Charles Faram have their name on this (well known International hop producers) because it's not got a lot going on hop wise (or malt wise for that matter). Bland and uninteresting Pale Ale, maybe the hops cancelled each other out, or they watered the brew down too much, either way it wasn't a good drink.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A pale amber pour with a slight haze and a loose white head; malty aroma with a hint of orange; malty taste with a touch of orange; and a dry biscuity finish. Unimpressive.

A slightly cloudy golden colour, with a slight head that reduces to a ring on the glass. The aroma is malty, with some zest and exotic fruit. The body is light but not watery, and the carbonation is low, creating a pleasant foam in the mouth. The taste is delicately malty, with biscuits, juicy citrus, and a touch of tropical fruit. A distinct bitterness with an earthy character, but also a grapefruit albedo. It's OK, but perhaps not the point when you want to showcase hops.
