This new straw-coloured pale ale is dry-hopped with the new US variety Krush, resulting in tropical stone fruit aromas, hints of citrus in the flavour and a pleasing, balanced bitterness.

Panda courtesy of Theydon_Bois, cheers Colin! Gluten Free. Hazed golden colour, big foamy white head and aroma of grain, floral citrus. Taste is sweetish, malt, grain, fruity, citrusy, zesty with spicy hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying citric bitter finish. Quite OK.

Cask at Mad Squirrel HWY, 28/03/2025.
Spoons beer FFS ... explains why its sub par for MS!!!
Almost clear golden amber topped with an off white cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is pale malts, sweet edged, orange jelly.
Taste comprises mellow citric flesh, sweet, melon, light bready notes.
Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close with modest hop bitterness.
Sweet and flabby and not in great cask condition especially taking into account it's one of their own bars!

Cask (gravity) at Standing Order, Derby. Pours golden amber with minimal off-white head. Not much of an aroma – merely traces of tropical fruit and citrus. In the mouth it is sweet but also thin and watery. Flavour is mainly tropical fruits, plus hints of apples. Finish is sweet and slightly dry. Rather bland to say the least.

Pale gold with a frothy white head and a soft fruity aroma. Just a little bit creamy with a fleshy fruit flavour, just a tiny little kick of citrus bitterness before a dry finish

Cask at mad Squirrel watford. A mostly clear dull gold amber coloured pour with a lasting white froth. Looks a little oxidised tbh. Aroma is neutral nutty cereals, light grass. Light alcohol on the nose. Flavour is composed of semi sweet, dull stale grains, dirty hay, grassy dirty hop, spicy alcohol in the finish.. This is pretty flawed. Palate is semi sweet, light fizzy, dull cask condition. Ok

Cask handpull at Captain Flinders JDW Euston. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Aroma of tropical fruits. Some sherbet hop feel in the mouth. Quote zingy in the mouthfeel. It's a little sweaty sox like Nelson Sauvin. Malts are light. Moderate bitterness on the finish. OK condition. It's fine
Interesting US hops. Not had Krush before. Attractive --- Beer merged from original tick of Beerhart on 15 Mar 2025 at 14:05 - Score: Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 7. Original review text: I know I had this at Captain Flinders in Euston. Anyway. Clear gold lasting white head. The krush hop gives it citrus sherbet hop flavour. It's a decent golden ale with lots of citrus fruit fruit. Satsuma flavour tangerine. Really quite bright.

Beer Number 4 at the Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2025, leaving 24 of 30 still untried. Good body, good-looking, feels easy for its strength. Hoppy with underlying stone fruitiness that grows in its aftertaste.
