Cask at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a hazy golden brown with a small foamy almost white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops and butter in the aroma plus hints of malts and citrus. In the mouth it is sweet and tangy with flavour of mixed hops, oranges and citrus. Hints of ginger and underlying biscuits come later. Finally there is melon which upsets it all and lasts into the slightly dry finish. This is decent – until ruined by the melon !

10/4/2026. Cask at the Isle of Man CAMRA 13th Beer & Cider Festival. Very slightly hazy pour. Aroma is citrusy, peachy, buttery, toasted. Fairly sweet, light bitterness, light citric tartness. Moderate body, soft carbonation. It’s fine.

[February 2023] Clear and golden with a frothy white head. Not much of an aroma, just a hint of light malt and citrus, but it’s a proper decent session pale with subtle tangerine bitterness and a dry finish

Half-pint, cask ale, shared with Finn at Smithfield Market Tavern (Blackjack). Golden body, clear, filmy layer blanketing the glass. Citric aromas, mid-dry. Decent flavours of herbal hops, biscuit and soft malts. Hints of resinous bitterness to the finish. Pretty good. (Manchester, 21.03.2024).

Delt med Rune. Stråfarget. Nesten klar. Lavt luftig skum. Bra sitrusaroma. Smaken tørket tropisk frukt. Tørr fruktig bitter avslutning.

Cask @ Jack In The Box, Manchester. Clear golden with a head. Although the brew doesn't taste thin its hoppy character does, although this is offset by a lovely smoothness to its hoppy character, all at a sessionable strength.
