[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading] A murky amber pour with a scummy looking white head; tropical fruit aroma; rather soapy in the mouth with a full on tropical fruit taste; then a bitter finish with sharp citrus zest and some underlying pine resin. Tastes better than it looks! [Revisited at the Alehouse in July 2023.] This time a crystal clear golden amber pour. A perfect looking pint. Tasting as before, with a warming finish.

Cask at the brewery tap. Aroma combines light stone fruit and citrus. Hazy dull amber. Creamy white head is blotchy and thins out. Tart sourness and bitter resin. Sweet stone fruit hints on the periphery. Medium bodied. Slick. Pithy. Flat carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Not balanced - far more bitter than I'd expect from a Hazy Pale.
