Bottle on 9th November 2025, received as gift. Slightly hazy gold with shallowing off-white foam and scant lacing. Grassy hoppiness in aroma. Grassy and leafy hops in-mouth with rounded malts- a blend that goes on to dominate the finish. Full bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

Excellent golden ale - citrus, grapefruit, more hoppy and bitter that similar Devon ales - good range in Teignmouth Morrisons

(Cask at Harp, Charing Cross, London, 27 May 2022) Golden colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with citrus, grapefruit, lemon peel and biscuits. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of grapefruit, lemon, resin, peaches and a balanced citric bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Tasty and refreshing. Quite nice.

Cask @ Globe Inn, Frogmore. Lighter clear golden coloured and light hoppy too. It’s a tad watery in texture but is fine, and has some malts in its nose.
