his is the beer that most of us at the brewery cut out teethto during ‘craft beers’ big rise over a decade ago & we all remember that first time fruity,
citrus hit & - what at the time seemed - huge resin punch and bracing clash of bitterness.
Overall we owe a lot to that beer and wanted to create our own here. In the UK however,
we’re all about the cask and that’s where ours lands. This is all about balance & clarity!
VISUAL: Golden to honeyed with Crystal 150 adding a little amber depth
AROMA: Predominant Grapefruit - citrus, mild pine and a prickle of spice
TASTE: Balanced sweetness with assertive bitterness and fresh citrus & grassy resin
MOUTHFEEL: Full - Medium bodied, with a subtly chewy caramel lacquer

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 16th September 2025. Hazy copper with shallow, lasting off-white foam and partial lacing. Citrus peel and fresh apple in aroma. Overripe orchard fruits and citrus peel in-mouth, followed by a sweet, fruity finish. Full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.

Cask @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Darker golden with a healthy hoppy-fruity character and a decent head. Small bitter finish.
