A crisp and hoppy golden ale, yet with plenty of good juicy malt balance too. The finish is dry and satisfying.

Cask at the Dock Inn, Penzance on 26th December 2025. Pale golden amber with shallow, yellowy white foam and full lacing. Lush grassy hop aroma. Bitter grassiness in-mouth and a rewardingly bitter finish. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Exquisite.

Bottle from Hop Kettle brewery online shop, I think. Appearance - golden amber with a light haze and a proportionate white head. Nose - generally quite grainy, muesli and only a hint of citrus which is probably orange peel. Taste - muesli again and orange peel if you really search for it. Palate - light bodied, dryish finish. Overall - not one of their best efforts, or at least not in bottle. Positive ratings seem to be on cask.

Bottle from the brewpub. Golden colour and a nice sparkle. Hoppy, herbal aroma is nice and bright. Fairly bitter, pithy and with light citrus notes. Good, hearty ale that blends lager with American pale. The lager malts really show through. We bought a case - top stuff.

Pigs Ear. Clear gold beer. Ghostly white head. Lots of citrus marmalade, mild lemon and orange - grapefruit. Lower carbonation than I would prefer but lively fruit. Semi dry finish with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Sessionable and decent.
