Hand pulled pint in my local Spoons on 16th December 2025. Clean and clear golden body, white crown that stayed around. Grassy, floral nose with a slight yeastiness. Taste is leaning towards orchard fruits and a light sweetness before a lingering bitterness in the finish.

1/3 pint, cask, festival beer at Roebuck Inn. Shared with Finn. Pours a covering white head over a clear amber coloured body, spotty lacing. Moderate smell of ripe citrus and pale malts. Blended taste of orange, biscuit, and mid-sweet pale malts. Ends fruity, bittersweet. Pretty good. (Nottingham 12.10.2022).

Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a golden yellow with a small off-white head and good lacing. Floral hopsa are the mainstay of the aroma. In the mouth there are summer fruits and floral hops with some biscuits lurking underneath. Overall it is sweet with hints of grapefruit and melon too. Finish is quite dry. This is decent.

Delt med Rune. Kobberfarget. Lavt tett skum som blir film. Eplearoma. Smaken tørket frukt. Fortsatt epler. Tørr bitter avslutning.
