This straw-coloured IPA has a resinous hop aroma, leading to zesty citrus, grapefruit and pine flavours, balanced by a subtle malt sweetness and a crisp, hoppy character.

Hand pulled third of a pint at the Crown, the Spoons in Berkhamsted on 15th March 2026. Clean and clear golden body, white crust. Good crisp feel to the citrus bite and bitterness. Decent!

Very slightly misty pale gold with a frothy / creamy white head and a mellow citrus hop aroma with a hint of pine. Light to medium bodied, sweet and citrusy up front, hop bitterness quick to kick in with some resinous pine along for the ride, finishes dry and bitter.

]Cask at The Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A straw coloured pour with a thin white head; lemony aroma with a hint of pine; syrupy lemon taste to start, then some resin to strip the palate; before a pithy citrus finish. Too sweet overall.
