Cask at EBF Easter 26. Hazy-opaque gold. Thin bubbly white head. Aroma has light fruit with a grainy edge. Flavourwise it has tart intro followed by soft fruit. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice enough.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 10th March 2026. Slightly hazy amber with almost no foam or lace. Rich citrus peel aroma. Spiced citrus blend in-mouth with tangerine and grapefruit. Unsweetened orange dominates a tangy finish, yet a few spices remain. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.

Handpull cask at the Cheshire Cheese, Buxton. Straw, mostly clear, a small and slightly clumpy white head. Aroma is floral, some sweet grasses, white grapefruit, satsuma. Sweet taste, some malty character with fruity hop on the back, a bit if bitterness near the finish with more grapefruit and white grape. Light to medium body; the carbonation is soft. Nice little beer.

Loose white head on an unclear golden coloured body.
Lemon, lager & citrussy aroma.
Medium bodied, soft on the tongue with a sticky back.
Lime, earthy, spiced, wheat & cereal tastes with a nicely hopped sharp tangy finish.
Good stuff.
