Bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Clear gold with small white top which dissipates. Aroma of biscuit, orange zest. Taste of melon, orange, flora with peppery spice and creeping bitterness. Light bodied, nice zing to the carbonation though, refreshing.

Bottle at home, picked up from a farm shop in Worcestershire, 30/07/23. Clear golden with a just off white covering that thins to edging and a swirl. Nose is grains, hedgerow, light biscuit notes, malts, straw, lemon nip. Taste comprises pale malts, straw, grains, biscuit, stewed fruits, light breads. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close with a modest bitter edge. Passable pale ... rather overly malty and lacking refreshment.

[50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring.] A bright straw coloured pour with a ring of white head; grassy aroma; grainy body with a sharp grassy bitterness; and a long finish. A refreshing pale ale.
