A 4.5% dry hopped lager that celebrates the Neolithic flint tipped arrows found in and around the brewery’s native Bury St Edmunds. Combining peach aromas and taste with subtle pine notes, this lager is crisp and refreshing with a delicate balance of flavours.

Draught, half-pint, shared with Finn at Rutland Arms. Clear late straw coloured body leaving spotty lacing on the glass. Pearl white head with fine duration. Modest smell of grass and pale malts. Moderate taste profile with grassy hops, ripe citrus and soft malts. Mid-dry finish, rather short. Easy going. (Hammersmith, London, 03.10.2023)

Pint at Glassworks, Cardiff. A crystal clear, pale golden pour with a mostly lacing, egg-white head. Aroma is arugula, cottage cheese, and a hint of sweat that luckily vanishes as time passes on, so sip slowly. Fizzy, dry, not really crisp. Lacking in body, but the bitter, long finish makes up for that. Meh.

Tap @ Ye Olde rose & crown, Greenwich. Bright, effervescent gold, clear. Nice lemony nose. Bit pissy, grapefruit, weed. Crisp, dank, citrus flavor. Light and clean. I like this far more than I thought I would.

On keg at Platform 5. Appearance - golden and clear with a decent head. Nose - grass, lemon and lightly metallic. Taste - more citrus and metal. Some peach maybe. Palate - light bodied, tangy texture and dry, bitter finish. Very high carbonation which makes it challenging. Overall - it's alright but carbonation makes it difficult.

Can @ Fleece Inn, Preston. Light golden with a similarly light carbonation. Its dry hopping is certainly evident as this is very dry tasting, with its actual lager taste and character quite low. I struggled to find the fruit noted on the can's tasting notes.

Half-pint, keg on 12th April 2023; Market Tavern in Durham. Golden body, white crown and 'fizzy'. There is an orange like aroma and taste within the brew but missed the pine notes! Certainly drank worse Lagers than this.
