Keg at Gidea Park Taproom. Hazy orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a light creamy sweetness.. Light cooling pine. A fair amount of savoury skunk. Good citrus, touch of ripe grapefruit. Good all rounder.

Hand pulled pint at the Pheasant Inn & Brewhouse on 6th December 2025. Clean and clear golden body, white crown. Grapefruit nose and taste, other citrus fruits undertones, but the grapefruit esters and flavours overpowered them for me. No piney notes either.

Hand pulled half pint in the Royal William IV, Lincoln on 28th November 2025. Clean and clear pale golden body, snow white head. Citrus nose and taste, Simcoe hops doing their thing from start to finish, so fairly bitter as well.

Pilegrimsleden går alltid via The Rake i Borough Market, som bare var en "greasy spoon" når vi bodde der. Fra cask: brunsvart med fint skum som varer. Nydelig aroma og enda bedre smak med mørke 70%-sjokolader, nybrent kaffe, vanilje og hint av kanel. Lekker og særdeles imponerende for en øl med relativt lav voltstyrke.
