On tap at their Heathrow taproom. Pours clear pale gold with a white head. Crunch malts and sweet, sappy pine on the nose. Flavour has a very sap-like pine character with resins and a chewy biscuit malt base. I'm not sure I love the hop expression but it's decent and has a good body.

On tap at the Heathrow taproom. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Lifeless aroma. Flavour has skunky malts, rotting grass, and is somehow slightly sour. High carbonation at least. This is messe up.

Festival pint at Hole In The Wall pub, in London, England. Cask pour. It pours a mostly clear gold color with a small white head and good retention. Hoppier than anticipated aroma. Thankfully, this pale ale flavor is not as hoppy tasting as the aroma. Like a lot of the cask ales, it's pretty mellow overall. It's also fairly "British warm." Medium-light body. Low carbonation as expected for a cask pour. Light to moderate bitterness, but it's a soft bitterness. Overall, the taste is decent, but sadly, the higher serving temperature is a bit of a turn-off.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 7th July 2025. Lightly hazy copper with shallow foam and full lacing. Malty aroma. Fruitiness in-mouth and throughout the finish, backed up with a good maltiness. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.
