16/6/2022. Cask at the 30th East Anglian Beer & Cider Festival, Bury St Edmunds. Pours clear bright pale gold with a small frothy white head. Aroma of lemon, citrus, lemongrass, straw, touch of herb, slightly soapy edge. Medium sweetness and bitterness with some tartness. Slightly oily, average to soft carbonation. Nice bitter finish. Pretty decent golden ale.

Clear straw coloured pale ale with a small, frothy white head and a clean, crisp citrusy aroma with a hint of sweet malt. Drinks smooth and light with fruit notes on top of a light, biscuit malt backbone, with a touch of bitterness and a sharpness in the finish

500ml bottle. Pours light gold, thin white head, retention doesn't last too long; not great Aroma of biscuit malts, citra hop is noticeable, flora; ok Taste is biscuit malts, light fruits, very clean. Good bitterness in the finish with a citrus note; nice, quite refreshing Body is light to moderate, moderate carbonation; works well with the refreshing element. Overall a refreshing traditionally English brewed pale even if it does have American hops. Nothing special but quite nice.

Cask at Old Bell, Derby Pours a paleish yellow with a small white head, and good lacing. Aroma is indistinct, but has malts and a hint of peaches. In the mouth, lemons are to the fore, with some malts and straw. Finish has some hops (at last !) along with lemons. A good solid beer. Not wildly exciting but good to turn to when not much other choice.
