Bottle from Appleyards Delicatessen, Shrewsbury. Golden with a carbonation and a thinnish head. Although hints of citrus are available its quite a soapy brew with its pasteurisation perhaps impacting too much on taste. Never that flavoursome, it's ok enough to drink. It has some fruitiness in its aroma to enjoy.

Cask pint on 5th Dec 2016: Three Fishes, Shrewsbury. Very pale blonde with a decent and lasting white head. Tropical fruit esters rule the nose, the taste is also fruity and hoppy in nature. I immediately though ’Simcoe’ hops: then I remembered the brewer is from New Zealand, so he might have used something I have never heard of hop wise. Anyway it was a pleasant, easy drinking pint and I enjoyed it.

Cask @ Shrewsbury Beer Festival 2016. Pours clear gold, white head. Aroma is soft watermelon fruits. Taste continues with nice light exotic fruits, watermelon, some mango. A good sessionable new addition to the Stonehouse range.
