This exceptionally pale ale combines Motueka and UK hops to deliver delightful citrus aromas, a gracefully fruity palate, and a subtly bitter finish, making it the ideal sessionable choice.

Cask ale, 1/3 pint on a sample tray. Naked at the surface, shattered lacing, warm golden body. Hop fruity small pf peaches and passion fruits. Moments of grainy malts, peaches and grapefruit to the taste profile. Mid-dry bitter ending. Clean on the swallow. Pleasing, a bit thin though.(Lewes, 27.08.2026).

Draft at The Lamb, Eastbourne. Poured a clear yellow golden colour with a lasting frothy white head and plenty of bubbles. The aroma is grainy, light citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a crisp, somewhat light, juicy lemon citrus, light mineral, dry hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with lively carbonation. Kinda liked this.

Nice beer on cask at the Royal Oak. Pleasant bready pale malts, low bitterness, some British yeast, nip of vanilla, biscuit. Highly drinkable.

Cask at the Royal Oak. It pours clear golden with a medium fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, bitter - sweet, sweetish, bready malt, biscuit, snappy, oatcakes and egg & cress sandwich. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, chewy, biscuit, drying, toasty oatcakes, toasty grains, pleasing fruity character, dried fruits, berry and orchard fruits and earth with a drying finish. Medium body and moderate, supportive carbonation. Lovely carbonation. Subtle complexity.

Derde en laatste Harvey's cask in de Calthorpe Arms. Vrijwel heldere goudgele kleur, met maar weinig schuim. Geur is vooral fruitig, met in de mond alweer dat gistige/kurkachtige, en een licht zoetje. Smaak is wat zoetig en vooral fruitg, zelfs lichtjes zurig. Lichte body. Behalve fruity voldeed deze niet aan de omschrjving (hoppy & dry) en was daardoor de minste van de 3.

Take out. Pours a pale gold colour with a tight white, light hop aroma with hints of citrus, the taste is medium bitterness with a dry bitter finish.
