Cask at Lych Gate, Wolverhampton. Pours a pale straw with a small white head and good lacing. Malts, honey and citrus vie for attention in the aroma. Floral hops to the fore in the mouth, with some sweet malts underneath. Later flavours include lemon, coriander and hints of other spices. Finish is dry and spicy. This is quite nice – one of their better efforts.

Cask half-pint at The Anvil, Shifnal on 22nd August 2021. Pale golden body, white head. Subtle aroma of light malts and citrus fruits, taste also citrussy with a weak malty underbelly. Nice, easy drinking beer, but it's not going to test your senses too greatly.

Cask at The Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield, ’The Peoples Republic of South Yorkshire’ on the Valley of Beer Day 16-08-08 Pours light amber, unimpressive and slightly sour fruity beer. This was one of the few beers of the day that wasn’t great, maybe a little tired as taken off soon after and replaced with the BB Golden Flame.
