You’ve tried real ale. And you might think you know what real ale tastes like. But don’t be so shore. This is real exciting real ale. Columbus, Mosaic and Citra come together to give a light fruitiness and a balanced bitter finish all brought together with a lightly toasted biscuit and caramel aroma. Real ale like your grandad’s never tasted. This is punked up proper ale.

Bottle on 28th March 2026 from Co-Op via Deliveroo. Pours virtually clear amber with shallow, diminishing off-white foam and scant lacing. Malty aroma with ripe soft fruits. Tangy fruitiness in-mouth, with some grasses and a nuttiness just over the savoury line. Citrus notes in finish. Medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel. Rather pleasant.

500ml bottle. Poured a slightly hazy light amber colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malty, yeasty, light hops. The flavour is light bitter, with a light malty, toffee, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Whatever happened to Brewdog?
