Cask @ Shrewsbury Real Ale Festival, July 2018. Pours misty gold, hoppy fruit nose. Taste presents a soft fruity golden ale with some pleasant exotic citrus moments, though not enough to really make this stand out.

Cask at the Euston Tap, East Lodge, 05/04/17. Golden with a decent white cap. Nose is mellow citric peel, melon, straw, orange, bread dough. Taste comprises tangerine, melon, white grape, straw, toasted grains, airy malts. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with moderate hop bitterness. Easy drinking cask affair ... pleasant enough but doesn’t deliver the hop bite I crave from this style.

Cask-conditioned, on gravity at the Bristol branch of the Brewhouse & Kitchen November 2016. Pale gold in colour, with a slight, white, head. Aroma of tropical fruits, grassy hops and sweetish malts. Flavours had plenty more pineapple and mango fruit and biscuity malts, before a gentle, warming, finish. Enjoyable.
