Fruity, premium strength golden ale showcasing hops from around the world. Willamette and Cascade in the American corner with fruity, floral flavours, plus Galaxy from the Southern Hemisphere for a tropical boost, all beautifully balanced by Bobek and Spalt hops grown by our neighbours over on the continent. Dangerously easy drinking...

Cask at cloisters. Pours clear golden, nose is floral, toffee, light citrus, marzipan, taste is sweet, chewy toffee, caramel, spicy, juicy citrus. Not at all what I was expecting.

Clear golden beer with a white head and fruity aroma. Taste is tangy citrus, quite lemony, some bitter hop. I think too much would start to get sickly but it’s nice.

Tried at the Threekingham beer festival 2015. Golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma is fruity with spice taste was a touch too sweet for me.

Hand-pulled cask pint in the newly refurbished Oddfellows, Wellington, Shropshire on 10th sep 2014. Light golden body, clear and bright (almost lager like) with a good white head. Fruity and tasty, semi-sweet with a light malty front, the hops being well suppressed from the start, another cask pint on 6th June 2026 at the Pheasant Inn, Wellington.

Cask, West Kirby Tap, Wirral. Hazy darkish gold looks with a small white head. Sweet malt nose with vague citrus hop notes. Creamy mouthfeel. Flavour was sweet and a bit cloying with a rather weak hop profile and some fruitiness. Drinkable but somewhat on the bland and insipid side of the fence.
