Cask at CPK, Pimlico on 13th June 2025. Clear golden amber with shallow foam and scant lacing. Sweet malt aroma with zesty peel. Malty in-mouth with pithy fruits and grasses - all of these flavours then play a role in a pleasant finish. Medium bodied with a velvet smooth mouthfeel.

Cask at the London & North Western, Birmingham. Slightly dark gold with a small white top. Quite a chewy malty, biscuity tipple with a light grapefruit rind bitterness but somewhat boring. Lacks a session quality which is a red flag for this type of beer.

Rocky white head on an unclear amber coloured body. Grain & cereal aroma. Medium bodied, short & clean on the back. Malt, grain, biscuit & fruity tastes with a bitter finish. Lacklustre

Cask-conditioned at the Quarter Jack, Wells, July 2023. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Plenty of citrus hops, blueberry sweetness, some biscuity malts and a dry finish. Enjoyable.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A straw coloured pour with a thin white head; weak grassy aroma; grassy taste with a sharp lemon zest bitterness; and a bready finish. A rather average summer ale.

Bottle at home – from Home & Bargain Has a faint malty aroma. Pours orange-yellow with a small transient white head. Well carbonated. In the mouth the overwhelming taste is that of lucozade (!) though there are malts and biscuit flavours there too. Finish is pretty sickly – like barley sugar combined with olive oil. Won’t be having this one again !
