Bottle with and courtesy of Grumbo. Aroma of hoppy, chalk, grain, citrus and grapefruit. Watery and rough finish with dry bitterness. A bit disappointing

Hand-pulled half-pint at a beer festival in the Anvil (Shifnal, Shropshire) on 11th October 2024. Clean golden pour, white crown. An interesting hybrid sort of beer to me, half lager, half pale ale, enjoyed it.

Cask at the excellent Trafalgar Freehouse 09/08/2024 Fresh fruity and malty aroma and taste, subtle notes of melon, white grape, light citrus lemony kiss, straw, pale bready malts, lovely soft cask carb and mouthfeel, refreshing bitter hoppy finish. Lovely and in great condition, perfect for this weather.
