500ml bottle at home on Christmas Eve 2025. Poured into my Batemans pint sleeve glass, it's light golden, clean and clear; on top a white crown. Slight citrus leaning with a piney finish, no great bitterness or hop bite, but decent enough.

500ml bottle. Clear dark gold with small white top. Aroma is malty, resinous, hint of fruit. Taste has brown bread, pine, citrus peel, resin, somewhat sweet and earthy. Medium bodied, slick, moderate bitterness. Decent APA attempt from a traditional brewery.

Clear gold with a slight chill haze, a bubbly white head and soft malt and raisins on the nose. Overly fizzy, light bodied with sweet fruit malt, a kick of hop bite, maybe a touch of pine and a dry bittersweet citrus finish

Bottle from ASDA, Sheerwater. Aroma is malty, smoky. Some resin. Clear amber. Thin foamy translucent white head primarily sticks to the rim. Light-medium bitter. Resinous. Quinine. Tobacco. Big malts. A hint of underlying citrus. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Unbalanced stuff from a twiggy specialist. Pretty poor.
