A hybrid bitter – the malt body and mouthfeel all being faithful to the style of a British Classic, but the new world hops used lift it to a new peak.

Cask at Ebenezers, Nantwich (17/9/23) - served by Nick !. Pours a hazy golden yellow with minimal white head. There’s floral hops and oranges in the aroma. In the mouth it starts off bitter with a mix of floral and traditional hop influences. But pretty soon some sweetness can be detected, and this and thelevel of bitterness fluctuate. Flavour has marmalade and tangerine, but some traces of malts. Finish is dry and slightly sticky. This is reasonable.

Shared third of a pint at the 31st Shrewsbury Beer Festival in St Mary's Church on 28th September 2023. Golden pour, white head. Citrus leanings with a decent malty base, not as exciting as I'd hoped.

Clear and golden with a frothy white head and light biscuit malt and a hint of citrus on the nose. Light bodied with sweet lemon, bitter hops and light malt all balanced very nicely flavour wise, with an earthy bitterness in the finish and aftertaste
