Cask ale, half-pint, shared with Finn at Pleased to Meet You. Remaining white head, cloudy pale golden body, spotty lacing. Modest smell of dough and peaches. Wheat fruity flavours with peaches to it. Ends with rather sweet fruits. A bit thin on the swallow. Average stuff, more or less. (Newcastle upon Tyne, 19.03.2024).

Cask @ Pleased To Meet You, Newcastle. Cloudy, quite easy drinking pale golden brew with a creamy-frothy head. Citrus based but very bland in design. Tropical fruity nose can be enjoyable.

Tastes earthy, grassy, peppery, herbal, light pineapple. Finishes medium bitter with notes of grass, earth and peppery notes.nice, but taste was very promising, taste doesn't deliver
