Clear golden pour with a small white head. Aroma is malt/grain, citrus, honey. Taste is grain, citrus, some herbal and metallic notes. Not bad, but lacks a bit of punch, given the low ABV.

Badged an IPA, this is a Pale very bitter beer that is much more to my taste than the fruity versions called IPA these days.

Fra cask på The Lyric: klar kobbergylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Urter, skog og noe floralt. Fin bitterhet og ganske saftig avslutning.

(Cask at Lyric, Soho, London, 2 June 2025) Golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of apricots, citrus, orange peel and caramel. Malty, fruity taste with apricots, caramel and a balanced herbal/earthy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Wel balanced bitter. Nice one.

500ml bottle from The Jolly Vintner, Tiverton. Drank at home on 11th July 2025 during a mini-tasting with myself. Poured into my huge 'Judas' glass, it looked lovely, a deep mahogany red with a large foaming crown of khaki bubbles. Strong malty nose and taste, this is the sort of beer I like, malty sweet and rich in body, no citrus fruits within twenty miles and a hint of gritty hops for a semblance of balance. Give me this over a hazy NEIPA every day!
