Inspired by the maritime environment shared by Belhaven and Orkney, this fruity pale ale has a tang of salt spray along with the zesty citrus of cascade and centennial hops. As fresh as the sea.

Handpull cask at the Old Spring, Cambridge. Dark ruddy gold with a nice little ring of white head. Smells of sulphur and butter. Tastes a bit better, with some natural malty sweetness, but the eggy buttery note comes back in spades for the aftertaste. Not my sort of drink.

Cask at the White Hart, Holyport. Reddish amber with a loose cream head; malty aroma; biscuity malt taste with a salty tang (although that might just be subliminal after reading the blurb on the pump clip); then a biscuity finish. Certainly clean and fresh tasting.
