[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A straw coloured pour with a ring of white head; citrus aroma; sharp lemony citrus taste with a bready body; and a light bitterness to finish. Unfortunately the lasting impression is that this is rather thin and unsatisfying.

Cask at Square Bottle, Chester. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy almost white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops and citrus in the aroma. In the mouth it starts off slightly bitter with a creamy texture, but this bitterness gradually increases. Flavour is mixed hops, citrus and grapefruit with hints of mandarin and melon later on. Bitterness lasts into a somewhat sticky finish. This is decent with a robust body to it, but the finish is disappointing.

Hand pulled third of a pint in The Moon Under Water, (A Spoons in Hounslow) on 7th March 2025. Light golden body, white crust, thought this a bit 'average' and uninteresting, sorry girls. Leaning towards citrussy, but lacked oomph and depth for me.

Beer Number 7 at the Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2025, leaving 21 of 30 still untried. Felt a little thin to begin with, but gathered depth. Easy and hoppy.
