27/1/2023. Cask at the 14th Colchester Winter Ale Festival. Pours clear dark gold with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit, grass, sweet malts. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness, tart edge. Moderate body, slightly oily, soft carbonation. Not bad.

Bottle from Craft & Berry. Appearance - clear golden with a white head. Nose - lemon and biscuit. Taste - lemon barley water. Palate - light bodied, nice dry finish. Overall - a simple beer but a perfectly good representation of the style.

Third, gravicask at Swindon's 33rd Annual Beer Festival. Shared with Finn. Bubbly head to a clear golden body, faint lacing. Moderate ripe citrus nose. Citrus flavours with lemon up front, balanced with a twist of caramel malts. Rounded bittersweet end. Clean on the swallow. fair enough. (26.10.2019).
