Can at home, from the Fullers Xmas selection box, 26/05/2026.
Clear golden topped with a lasting white head.
Nose is melon, grass, pale malts, tangerine.
Taste comprises orange peel, citric tinged straw, faint herb, melon.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with mellow hop bitterness.
It's fine if a little muted.

440ml can from a B&M or Home Bargains (can't remember, it was bought a while ago). Poured into a Batemans (Good Honest Ales) UK pint sleeve at home with some cheese, lunchtime on 19th November 2025. Bright, pale golden body, white crust on top. Hoppy nose, slight farmyard ester or two, taste is bitter, just checked it's arse to make sure it's in date, it is (BBE Jan 2026). Just seems a bit 'harsh' and full on for a 3.4% ABV Session IPA that's in date! This is decent for a cheap supermarket can.

Can at home. Nice light summer beer. It won't set the world on fire, but perfectly pleasant.

Cask at the dorix arch Euston,. A light hazed golden orange coloured pour with a sticky off white head. Aroma is jammy, midget gems, blueberry, blackberry, wheat, grassy, soft wheat, bready grains. Flavour is composed of blackberry, plum. Jammy, soft wheat. Not bad. Blackberry hedgerow hop. Palate is semi sweet, grainy, mellow cask condition. Solid.
