(Cask at Craft Beer Co Covent Garden, London, 19 Nov 2025) Golden amber colour, slightly hazy, with foamy off-white head. Fruity, floral nose with notes of apricots, orange peel and toast. Fruity, hoppy taste with apricots, orange peel, mandarin, toast and a mild citric/floral bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Hoppy and refreshing. Very nice.

On tap at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a murky straw colour with a small foamy almost white head and excellent lacing. Summer fruits and yeast to the fore in the aroma, plus some hints of floral hops. In the mouth it is initially quite sharp with plenty of bitterness and some underlying sweet traces. Citrus is the main flavour, chiefly lemon but also hints of lime and floral hops. Later the sharpness almost vanished and it becomes quite sweet with hints of berry fruits and apricots leading to a slightly dry finish. Not impressed at first sip, but it got markedly better as it went on.
