440ml can as part of a delivery from Beers of Europe and drunk at home. Clear light blonde with a loose ring of white head. Buttery and bready aroma with some Belgian yeast and light spice. Balanced taste with a hoppy and astringent bitterness cutting through the initial sweet taste. Honey, wheat, light citrus. Medium body with slightly heavy carbonation. Pretty muddled but not bad overall.

Can from Asda, High Wycombe. Vivid clear gold with a thin white head and an obvious fizz. Dry and yeasty with cardamom seeds, white pepper and a waft of smoked meat. Some fresh banana and a hint of lemon emerges in the finish. An interesting and enjoyable brew from my favourite of the regional family brewers.

Handpull cask at Peterborough Beer Festival 2024. Pours near clear amber gold with beige foam. Aroma: pale malts, citrus, wood smoke, red berries, slight cherry. Taste: light to moderate sweet & bitter, the smokiness comes through nicely. Towards dry on the palate. Medium body with soft carbonation. Enjoyed this one.
