No mention of 'Arriva' on the pumpclip, just Sapphire. 8th Feb 2019, cask pint, hand-pulled at Codsall Railway Buildings. Light golden body, clean and clear, white crown. Hoppy little number, fruity with a mild sweetness throughout,

Cask at the Maidenhead Beer Festival, July 2016. A different description to that given here - and no mention of Arriva as a collaborator - "Nice fruity aroma with a lot of citrus flavours, orange, lemon and pink grapefruit with a spicy finish."
A pale amber pour with a loose white head; aroma of orange peel; orange juice taste with some sweet grapefruit; then lightly bitter; with a lingering juicy citrus finish, with traces of spicy Kentish hops. Rather good and satisfying.

Aroma is a comfortable mix of malts and hops. Has good head and clear orange body. Flavour is smooth hops with a soft hazelnut finish. Okay on the mouth. Drinkable but boring.
