Once awarded CAMRA Champion Beer of Gloucestershire this deceptively strong pale ale is eminently quaffable. The delicate hop aroma develops into a vibrantly fruity, smooth finish.

Cask (Sandford Park Alehouse, Cheltenham) - Deep golden. Malty aroma with notes of wort. The taste is hoppier than I was expecting with notes of citrus, bread and some earthy notes.

Cask at the Fleece Inn, Bretforton, 05/09/22. Golden copper with a good sized lasting white head, full glass lacing ensues. Nose is dried fruit esters, caramel, light honey, straw, grains. Taste comprises stewed fruits, bready, sultanas, biscuit, light herb, fruit cake. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, light drying close. Decent well kept cask strong ... surprised to see this riding with just a 2.81 average!

Cask-conditioned at the Lamb, Iron Acton, Gloucs. Near orange with a slight white head. Sweet aroma of figs and almonds. Flavour started sweet before the bitterness kicked in. Hard to categorise but ok.
