Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy golden - yellow with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, ripe tropical fruits, fruit salad sweets, pineapple chunks, mango, fruit cobbler, sponge cake and lemon poppyseed muffin. The taste is smooth, juicy, bright, tropical fruits, nectarine, pineapple, apricot, persimmon, fruit pie, candy, touch green, weedy, floury bread and some dryness through to the finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Nothing wrong with this. Bright and moreish.

Hand pulled third of a pint in The Boot on 26th September 2025. Black body, beige head that lasted. Malty brew with chocolate being the main player flavour wise, some decent hop action prevents it getting too sweet.

Cask at the Pocket, Islington on 23rd August 2025. Clear gold with shallow whitish foam and spot lacing. Malty aroma with floral hops. Fruity in-mouth with ripe berries. Fruity end with tangy citrus and re-emerging maltiness. Smooth mouthfeel and a light body. Pleasant though on the sweeter side.
gave a cheers!

Keg and can. Hazy golden body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of grapefruit, tangerine and white bread. Flavour of lime, biscuit, peach and sweet lemon. Thin to medium body with an oily texture. Very fizzy. Swannay brew hoppy low-ABV beers really well.
