Pours a very transparent amber with a small head.Nose shows peachy and spicy hops with a fair bit of sweet malt (slightly grainy) and honey.Flavours are very similar, but with more grainy malt and a slightly herbal flavour that I also remember from their Captain Cooker beer (that at the time I thought was the manuka). Very light bitterness.Light body with carbonation that really could be higher.

(On tap) Clear, golden with a white head leaving some lacework. Soft, lightly sweet aroma. Medium body with good, clean malts and again a distinct bitter hoppiness in the finish. They certainly aren’t afraid of hops at The Mussel Inn. 290108

Draught at the brewpub. Hazy golden, small head. Citric hop aroma. Medium dry with rounded, gentle mouthfeel. Rather well hopped - perfumy and citric, with well balanced bitterness. A charming, well made lager.
