Nice artwork on the can for a retry of this beer in 2025, depicting puffins, although it's the Guillemot currently with the most numbers on the North Sea islands. Healthy looking copper ale, has both a slight sweetness and slight bitterness to it.

Bright copper - looks great. Earthy-fruity nose with a light toast character. Earthy-metallic taste with some woody hops emerging towards the finish. Mostly, Iām not a fan of the overall toastiness of this one.

Cask at the Cambridge Blue, Cambridge. Reddish amber in colour with a thick white head and a rich malty aroma; full bodied with a sweet malt flavour and a sharp, grapefruit bitterness to finish. Refreshing.
