Hand pulled half pint in the Shrewsbury Hotel on 31st May 2026. Slight haze in the light golden body, decent white top. Weak citrus leanings, all a bit bland or subtle, depending on how you feel. Glad I only bought a half.

Cask at the 'Spoons in The City. This is probably the worst I've had from this great brewery. Smelt and tasted of dishwater. Unpleasant.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A straw coloured pour with a thin white head that laces the glass nicely; lemony citrus aroma; peach and lemon taste with a sweet caramel malt body; then some pear and stone fruit to finish. Pleasant, but light on flavour.

Cask at Billy Bobs (JDW), High Wycombe. Gold with a thin white head and a light fizz. Floral with a little peach and lemon followed by caramel and butter, giving a rather slimy mouthfeel. Not one of the Squirrel’s best.

Cask at the Evening Star, Brighton on 3rd November 2012. Hazy amber with thin part-lacing off-white foam film. Smoky, hoppy aroma. Citric, yeaty and hoppy in-mouth, somewhat akin to a Weißbier. Tangy finsh and zingy mouthfeel.
