16/4/2025. Cask at the Thomas Wolsey, Ipswich. Pours clear golden with a small frothy white head. Decent pour. Aroma is hoppy, straw, malt, citrus. Moderate sweetness with some nice developing bitterness. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Easy drinker.

Hand-pulled half-pint in Loggerheads on 7th November 2024. Only had this because it was 'on offer' and cheaper than anything else, didn't realise I hadn't rated it before! Anyway it was a clean golden pour with a decent white affair on top. Malt forward and slightly sweet, light hop bitterness, all a bit subtle and bland really.

Tap. Golden color with small white head. Aroma is malty, shy hoppy. Taste starts malty, followed by moderate citrus hops. Could be more hoppy, still enjyoable.

A little lemon, and some straw. Golden pour with creamy head on cask. Light tangy finish. Not a lot to this. Cask at City Arms.
