Half-pint, cask ale at Thomas Tallis Alehouse. Shared with Finn. Bubbly surface, bright golden body, fragile lacing. Malt-fruity smell, citric notes and mid-sweet malt. Mixed taste of grassy hops, ripe citrus, and a touch of caramel malts. Dry bittersweet ending, malt-fruity. Well treated cask. Likeable. (Canterbury 11.02.2023).

Cask handpull at Three Mariners, Hythe, Kent. Gold, lasting off white head. Very good hoppy beer. Really very bitter and biting on finish. Some decent malts in mouth, decent condition. Loved the biting hop. Good start for a new brewery.
