10th Birthday Series No.3! We’ve teamed up with some of our industry pals to brew a series of birthday collab beers - each one with a legendary brewery alongside an amazing pub, bar or bottleshop that has supported us since we opened 10 years ago!
For the third beer in this series, we asked two legends of the game to collaborate with us. The Nag's Head in Reading has been one of our best customers since 2016 and you can almost always find an Elusive beer on the bar! Our great pals at North Riding also feature often and as they brew such brilliant Session Pales, it just had to be! Krush, Amarillo and Simcoe feature here.

440ml can thanks to Neal. Hazy golden with a thin white head. Aroma of orange, grapefruit, lemon, tropical fruit. Taste is dominated by citrus, lots of orange (and the peel), lemon, grapefruit, some tropical fruit too, slightly earthy, biscuity malt background. Medium bodied.

[Cask at the Nags Head, Reading.] A pale amber pour with a scant white covering; unusual tropical fruit aroma; sour mango taste with a seemingly thick milkshake body, contradicting the appearance; then more sharp but juicy fruit to close. Very different.
