Lovely stuff, great on cask. Fresh and hoppy, moderately resinous. Some candied orange peel, sturdy pale malts. Balanced bitter aftertaste, a little honeysuckle. Highly drinkable.

Cask at the two trees watford. A clear golden yellow coloured pour with a fine white head. Aroma is leafy grassy hop, straw, white grape, some waxy hop. Palate is semi sweet, semi crisp, good cask condition. Flavour is composed of bready, straw, spicy citrus, vague naz hop, leafy hop. Not bad, but not great example of the hop.

Cask by stillage at One Inn The Wood, Petts Wood on 21st February 2026. Almost clear gold with the shallowest of foam and spot lacing. Grassiness on a good malt for aroma. Ripe fruits, nutty malts and grasses in-mouth. A finish of bitterness but with some remaining sweet nuttiness. An engaging texture with a light body.
