A summery beer that breezes in just like the migrating swallows. It’s made with lager malts giving it a light body, while Cascade, Chinook and Bramling Cross hops are added late in the brewing process for a lovely hint of lemon. A crisp, dry, refreshing pale ale, deserving of a proper summer’s day.

500ml bottle from Sainsburys. Gold with an off-white head that faded immediately; initial aroma of hay and apricots, becoming more floral; light and biscuity with some bitterness and some sweetness, but not developing much in the way of a finish.

Cask at the Brunswick, Derby. Bright amber with a thin white head; somewhat sour aroma; crisp and malty with some stewed fruit flavour; leading to a dry and powerfully bitter finish.

Bottle picked up at Sainsbury’s, Kidlington, 27-07-06. Pours a copper colour exceptionally clear. This tastes crisp, fruity but a bit sweet as well, some hops and bitterness, an ok beer but you would really expect more from this brewery.

500ml bottle from Sainsburys. Copper colour with lasting off white head. Floral hop and green apple aroma. Some pear drop. A bit empty in the mouth, malts could be more assertive. Over carbonated. Spritzy hop finish. Bit thin overall but nice hops and apple.

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful, clear amber with a small, off-white head. Malty, nutty aroma. Light-bodied with some fruit and nutty flavours. Very discreet bitterness. 200106

Bottle Malt nose, buttery, slight dusty hop. Amber, no head. Honeyish malt, slight nut, no hops detectable. Weak body, dusty exit. Quite boring.

Clear yellow color, short creamy head. Aroma is quite sour, floral i guess. Sour and bitter taste, refreshing palate, though slightly bitter.

Dark bitter with a whispy head, and a summer sweet lightly hopped aroma. A floral sweet and caramel flavour with a flour texture finish. A pleasant enough summer beer.
