500ml bottle from Hop Vault, Stourbridge, online. Pours a clear gold, small white consistant head. Aroma of biscuit malts and lime, some zest. Taste is the same with a strong dose of bitterness, slight astringency. Light to medium bodied. Ok.

Bottle at home, from Thornbridge online, 10/08/24. Had a few pints of this back in the day but pre-rating. Clear golden blonde with a big old lasting white cap. Nose is mellow citric flesh, melon, floral notes, grass, soft malts. Taste comprises citric sherbets, tangerine, grass, pale malts, light breads, perfume. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with grassy come lightly juicy hop bitterness. Tidy refreshing pale/golde ... deserves more than the 3.11 average it sits on as I rate!

Flavours were earth, fruitiness, grass, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was earthy, fruity and bitter. A tasty and balanced brew with fruity notes.

Yet another one of these beers you think you've had and haven't! Bright clear gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light pale malts, whisper of grain, not unpleasant in this brew. Light pine, reasonably crisp. Light citrus, again fairly bright. Light and semi dry finish. A clean and decent beer. In some ways old fashioned, a proper berry beer, but delivered clean and bright. Goes down quite easy.
