Cask at CPK, Pimlico on 4th April 2025. Slightly hazy amber with shallow off-white foam and full lacing. Malty aroma with a little pungency. Leafy hops and caramel malt in-mouth, and a grassy finish of some bitterness. Zingy mouthfeel and a fair amount of body.

[June 2022] Slightly misty pale gold with a creamy white head and a malty grapefruit aroma, maybe just a hint of pine. Smooth and fabulously dry and bitter with grapefruit and mandarin orange notes

Tight white head stayed on a translucent light golden body. Zesty aroma of pine & pale malt. Medium bodied, sharp on the palate with dry clean back. Bitter hoppy tastes with pine, grass, pith & resin. Nice one. 210/
