Cask-conditioned at The Lawrence Arms, Southsea 29/7/2022. Golden in colour, with a thin, white, head. A touch of citrus hop, rich tea malts, some tangerine fruit sweetness, leading to a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

440ml can from Beers of Europe: BB 30th Jun 2021. A rare Surrey rating for me and a new brewery as well. Poured into a Batemans pint sleeve at home on 22nd Jan 2021, a live rating while eating a Ham & Branston Pickle Sarnie, hope they go together OK. Right, I've got a bright and light golden beer in front of me, on top is a billowing white cloud of bubbles. Mild citrus nose, more citrus-ness in the flavour. Fairly bitter in nature, so more lemony than any other citrus fruit to me, maybe some grapefruit like semi-sourness/dryness creeping in too. Did it go with the sandwich? No not really, the sweetness of the Branston Pickle fought against the citrus front of the beer; enjoyed both the beer and the sandwich though!
