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 from Tesco. Clear light amber with off white consistent top. Aroma of malts, caramel, blackcurrant, wet grass. Modest malt flavour for the style, some caramel, quite grassy, OK.

Pale amber colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a musty element. There's some hidden pineapple syrup in the background. Weird.

Can. A bit hazy light amber with very big head. Caramel, toffee, some dried fruits, plums, grassy hops and a bit of red apple. Over light sweet and bitter. Medium bodied. Not bad.
