A sweet pale ale of 4.5% late hopped for a luscious floral aroma. Our biggest selling beer!

Edwin Beard Budding of Thrupp, Stroud, invented the lawnmower in 1830 - 'for the purpose of cropping or shearing the vegetable surface of lawns, grass plats, and pleasure grounds'.

Budding was an engineer servicing the abundant wool mills of the Stroud valleys and he took his inspiration from a machine with a helical blade that cut the nap (fluff) off the newly woven cloth. Budding went into partnership with, John Ferrabee to produce the mowers at Phoenix Mill Foundries in Thrupp. An example of Buddings original lawnmower can be seen at the Stroud 'Museum in the Park'.

Can. Light hazed gold with decent white top. Aroma is sweet, earthy with some grapefruit peel, lime and grass. Taste of flora, grapefruit, yeast, grass, grain. Drying with a solid bitterness running through. Solid pale.

Cask t the barrow boy and banker. A clear golden yellow coloured pour with a loose white head. Aroma is semi sweet bready grains, grass, hedgerow hop. Nutty hop. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, bready grains, grassy hop, hedgerow hop, light butter. Palate is semi sweet, semi crisp, moderate carbonation. Ok.

440ml can. Almost clear golden, big white head. Aroma of bready malts and citrus fruits. Taste is quite citrusy, orange and grapefruit, sweet bready malts, floral/grassy notes and a bitter finish. A nice easy going pale, leaning towards APA in style, I thought this was rather pleasant. I couldn't believe this was Fuggles and it turns out it isn't, it's Amarillo now. Much better! Definitely been a recipe change at some point.

Cask at Captain Cooks, Östersund. Tricky one. On the one hand it was exactly how I want my cask pale ales with a nice grassy bitterness. And yet a very chemically ending that affected the score.

Half-pint, cask ale, shared with Finn at Old Joint Stock. Covering white head leaving rich lacing on the glass, clear golden body. Grassy-herbal nose, promising. Mixed taste of biscuit and ripe fruits with mild malty sweetness in the background. Semi-sweet malt-fruity end. Pleasing. (Birmingham 13.02.2023).
