That’s a good offering. There’s a nice, restrained richness about it. Firm bitterness of citrus rind, sun-baked pine and grass. Decent malty base, a hint of toasted pale malt. Good condition. Clean and enjoyable.

Cask up the White Lady. Pours clear golden, not seeing a red tinge to be honest. Aromas are floral and light malt. Taste is faint hibiscus tea, faint fruit. Light bitter finish.

Third of a pint in my local Spoons on 7th March 2026. Best beer of the six I had during my little tasting session at the festival. Poured a lovely golden amber colour, a red hue shining through, on top a solid beige roof of tight bubbles. Citrusy nose and taste with a good blend of fruity flavours balanced with a subtle malt presence.

Cask handpull at Sir John Oldcastle JDW London. Clear amber colour lasting beige head. OK hoppy pale ale. Tasty enough. Some sweet malt some citrus hop. Likeable enough. Could have had the other half of this. Good condition good temperature

Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2026, Beer#11. Certainly with a session strength and taste, there's definitely a floralness about the brew, which is at its developed best in aftertaste. A little more hoppy initially, all a little bland.

5/3/2026. Cask at wetherspoon’s beer festival. At the Bell Hotel, Norwich. Good pour. Aroma is hoppy, citrus, orange, floral and leafy. Nice bittersweet taste with some strong drying bitterness developing and spicy tangy notes. Decent body. Good. Beer of the festival so far.
