Light copper in appearance with a subtle floral spice on the nose leads the way to a soft malty body with touches of caramel, finished off with a balanced refreshing lightly fruity hop profile. A beer brewed to show everything great about British malt, hops and brewing!

Can from Flavourly. Pours a cloudy gold, thin white head, minor retention. Not much on the nose, a little biscuity, pear, floral resin. Not much flavour to be honest either, some light biscuit malt, some floral and bitter hop. Decent body for a 3.8% and it does have a pleasant session feel to it on repeated sips. A bit dull though.

Cask at the spoons. No real flavour or interest for that matter, apart from a faint taste of vomit. Really not for me.

3.8% cask version at Pratts and Payne, Streatham (01/06/2022) - hazed murky golden yellow with a nice white head. Light citrus fruity with notes of lemon and straw, grass, sweet bready malts, soft cask carbonation, bitter edged hoppy finish. Not sure if this is the same brew as the can version most people are reviewing below but this was pretty decent.

Tight white foamy head left a cover on a well carbonated light amber coloured body. Fruity & malt aroma. Medium bodied, tingly & cloying on the back. Malt, bubble gum, cordial & berry tastes. Tastes a bit cheap & false. (It was cheap!)

Can gift from non RB friend – at 3.8%. Heatwave ? This should be called Frothwave ! Gushing out of the can, completely filling the glass, all over the place. When it settles down it’s a golden yellow and the white head disappears completely. Has a weird aroma of wild flowers and herbs. Taste is strange as well, creamy texture with plenty of rich tea biscuits and some floral hops around the edges. This is the worst beer I’ve had for some time. And @eglesb – it’s definitely NOT an IPA !
