This copper ale has a slight red haze, topped with an off white head. The aroma is rich and fruity, with a hint of blackcurrant. On the tongue, it's a perfect balance of malty bitterness with notes of orange peel and grapefruit.

Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a cloudy deep crimson with minimal off-white head. Mainly malts in the aroma plus traces of autumn fruits. In the mouth it is quite sweet but with a sour touch and a somewhat watery texture. Flavour has malts, traditional hops and oranges. Some nutty hints later on leading to a slightly dry and bitter finish. This is reasonable. May need a rerate because I’m not sure it’s supposed to be that cloudy !

Hand pulled pint in my local Spoon's on 16th September 2025. Red hue to the clean and clear amber body, off white crown on top. Nice malty brew with some hedgerow berries in the nose and flavour.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A slightly hazy copper coloured pour with a thin translucent head; malty aroma; rather watery in the mouth with a sweet malt taste; then a light earthy bitterness with a hint of orange. A rather ordinary bitter.

The People's History Museum once housed a Manchester CAMRA festival in their Engine House exhibit, but proved to be a one-time only event. This beer is hazy and dark. It has light hoppy-sugars and is certainly session material.

Cask at the moon under water Watford Jdw. A light hazed amber orange coloured pour with a fading off white head. Aroma is semi sweet, nutty malts, dishwater, apple. Brow sugars, hint of toffee, light vinegar. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, amber malts, tangy green apple, toffee, dish water, light spicy notes. Palate is semi sweet, light tang and tickle, mellow carbonation. Not great.
