On a flight at the brewpub on 12th August 2025. Clean and clear amber body, off-white crown. Hoppy little thing with loads going on both up front and in the background. Really enjoyed it's bitterness.

On a flight at the brewpub on 12th August 2025. Golden amber body, clean and almost clear; white bubbles on top. Nice blend of bittering hops and semi-sweet malts, liked the fact it wasn't too citrussy!

On a flight at the brewpub on 12th August 2025. Mahogany coloured body, beige crown. Mild malty front with an earthy/nutty leaning, light hop content, but enough to stop the beer being sweet or sticky in nature. Nice Brown Ale all round.

On a flight at the brewpub on 12th August 2025. Teak red body, clean and clear, off-white crown. Nice looking malty brew with a decent hop bitterness and without any citrus fruits being harmed during the brewing is always a good thing.

Draft pint at the brewpub (sat outside) overlooking Lime Bay on 12th August 2025. Perfectly adequate Pilsner, clean and clear golden body, white affair on top. Crisp refreshing and hop sharp.

650ml bottle from mgermani, thanks.
popped the cap, and there was ZERO noise, not a good sign. aroma is wet cardboard, and sour red wine, pretty much a big nose of red wine vinegar. Flavour is sour, syrupy, and vinegary. This bottle has to be off, there is no way they intended it to tatse like this. It actually tastes like a flemish sour ale now. still i couldnt dinrk it, the vinegar flavour was way too much to stand

650ml bomber from mgermani! thanks! Clear golden color with a thin, amber tint. Big nose of citrus, and grapefruit, wow this smell fresh. Flavour is quite hoppy, good bitterness, and a nice maltiness also. Very refreshing beer, i really enjoyed it!

473 ml can. Pours a bright gold color with little head. Aromas of sweetened grapefruit juice, apple juice, and some Pilsner malts. Flavors of mineral water, cardboard, toasted malts and some medicinal citrus. More like an old Pilsner.
