440ml can. Pours a clear orange amber with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of bready caramel malt, grapefruit, cantaloupe and floral hops. Sweet flavour of spicy rye malt, orange peel, peach and grassy hops in a dry, bitter finish. Light body with a slick texture and average carbonation. Crushable.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours golden amber with minimal almost white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops and citrus n the aroma. In the mouth it is quite sharp but with a tropical juiciness, and some bitterness becomes evident later. Flavour has tangerine, marmalade and floral hops plus hints of pine and citrus. Finish is slightly dry. This is decent.

15/6/2025. Cask at The Greyhound, Ipswich. Nice to find something different on here apart from regular Adnams. A herbal floral brew. Summery. Not bad.
