Old rating - One of 7 500ml bottles I got from the brewery upon my visit in 2014. Such a shame they are no longer around. Old notes from 17-07-14. Pours light orange with a white head. Aromas of fruits, citrus, herbal, bready malt. Medium body. Light malty finish. Very enjoyable

Golden beer, white head. Citrus aroma. Grassy, grapefruity taste, bitter hop. Lingering, sour citrus. Not remarkable but very drinkable all the same.

Cask @ Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Clear blonde with a thin head. Hopped with a slightly dry texture. There’s some malt involved too, most notably in its nose.

Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance -golden with a light haze and a decent head. Nose - tangy orange and light yeast edge. Taste - very yeasty, not expected for the style. Some citrus hops there too. Palate - light to medium bodied with a tangy yeasty middle section and a finish where the yeast unfortunately dominates the hops. Overall - the yeast is too present. Not sure the brewer intended it this way.

500ml bottle thanks to Ashton McCobb. Pours hazy gold, thin white head. Lots of floaters. Aromas are eggy, lemon, sherbet. Taste is sherbet, touch of wild yeast? Lemon tang, slightly sour finish. Disappointing.

Cask @ No Sign Bar, Swansea. Light yellow/gold. Malt, soft astringency in the aroma. The nose is faint but I enjoy what little there is. There is a bitter/sourness throughout a harsh taste profile, lifted by a bit of herbiness. Predictably thin mouthfeel. Ok.

500 ml bottle, a gift from my beerpal Olav, thanks! ABV is 4.0%. Very pale yellow colour, moderate white head. Nice aroma of grassy, herbal, spicy and fruity Styrian Goldings hops. Light bodied as expected, easy drinking. Distinctly spicy and hoppy dry flavour.
