17th Feb 2019. Hand-pulled half-pint in the Station Hotel, Oakengates. Smooth white crown on a clear amber body, plenty of lacing as the beer level sank. A fruity and hoppy little number with a slight piney bitterness for balance.

Pendle Beer Festival 2016. Clear golden coloured ale. Has a sugary hoppy nose, slightly dry in taste, but not too much, and a medium bitterness. Fruits are only just evident.
