(Cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen, Pimlico, London, 12 May 2024) Dark golden colour with rocky, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, grass, grapefruit and resin. Fruity, hoppy taste with citrus, peaches, grass, biscuits and a balanced citric/grassy bitterness. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and refreshing. Nice one.

Bottle from local Morrison's. Pours clear gold with a white cap. Malt, maybe a smidge of caramel, honey, some citrus. Medium body with soft carbonation. A bit twiggy / mundane, but it's a new brewery tick.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Bottle looks simple but good. Beer in the glass deep golden, small head. Starts mild, malty, modest dry. Spicy-wheaty background. Only shy hoppy notes. Finish well balanced, mild spicy-malty. Okay.

Thanks Simon. Grainy nose. The beer starts mild, soft with a grainy back. Easy to drink, creamy with a mild grainy finish. Nice.

Bottle from Morrisons, High Wycombe. Bronzey-gold with a middling fizz and a white head. Minerals and metal up front. A bit of lemon and grass. Dryish finish. Not a fan, but at least it's a new brewery tick for me.
