(Cask at Lyric, Soho, London, 2 June 2025) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of apricots, citrus, orange peel and caramel. Malty, fruity taste with apricots, caramel and a balanced herbal/earthy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Wel balanced bitter. Nice one.

Old notes from Nov 2014 - Brought from the Brewery shop. Pours a deep golden ale with a head that disperses quickly. In the aroma the hoppiness comes though, and a bitterness in the taste. Overall a pint that easy to drink without standing out from the crowd.

Clear amber pour with a small white head. Aromas of malt, hops and a hint of oak (?). Taste is malt, hops, grain, lemon - slightly bitter finish. Not bad.

500ml bottle from Sidmouth Unwrapped. Poured a clear amber colour with a shiort-lived fizzy white head. The aroma is malt and woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, malt, light citrus, earthy, woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. An old skool English IPA.
