A balanced blonde ale full of intrigue and nuance. The beer starts in traditional fashion as we brew with Belgian Candi sugar, ferment with a traditional abbey ale yeast and hop with German varieties. In addition, we've used sea buckthorn for fresh tartness and pink peppercorns with a subtle floral spiciness.

Clear and golden with a bubbly white head and a fruity aroma with apples being most prevalent. Light bodied, fresh but very light flavoured with some fruity notes, a touch of tart apple and a bittersweet finish

Can from JK Fine Foods. It pours lightly hazy dirty blonde with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, baked goods, cake, digestive biscuit, pear, melon, apple crumble and some candied lemon. The taste is crispy, dry, pithy, twist of lemon, tangerine, bready malt, digestive biscuit, cereal, touch of nuttiness, some estery fruits, melon, pear and a touch of spice with a dry finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Not big or showy, but does what's expected.

Can at home, from Siren online, 23/08/22. Clear golden to copper with a fast escaping light egg shell white covering. Nose is dusty fruits, lemon rind, straw, grains, light white peppery spice. wooded notes. Taste comprises tarte fruit rinds, herb, lemon zest, hedgerow, grains, modest yeast bill, damp straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. It's no all time great but ticks the style boxes and for me rides a good bit higher than the 2.84 average I found it on.

Thin beige head left a spotty cover on chill hazy clear amber coloured body. Herbal aroma. Medium bodied, no carbonation, limp & sticky. Herbal, sweet, watery & peppery tastes. WTF is this? Siren have list the plot with this one. Awful.
