Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a golden straw with minimal foamy off-white head. Malts to the fore in the aroma plus hints of citrus and floral hops. In the mouth it is quite sweet with just a hint of underlying bitterness. Flavour is malts, citrus, lemon, grapefruit and a trace of pine. Sweetness lasts into the somewhat dry finish. Refreshing and quaffable but not very distinctive.

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 Squirrelโs best.
