660ml bottle shared with my wife, Margie on 23rd April 2024 (48 years to the day, since we met in 1976), sat in the afternoon sun outside a small deli in Ludlow. Golden body, almost clear; white crust. It may be a lager, but it's got some citrusy leanings and a decent malty base, actually enjoyed it.

Cask at PoW Farnborough. Aroma has light fruits, berries and malts. Clear light chestnut. A few translucent microbubbles cling to the rim. May have been on a while... sour berries with a dollop of twigs. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Bland bitter. Not sure who it embodies fire, Arctic or otherwise.

Can at home in Hackney - big thanks to my manager! Pours clear orange-gold with. A creamy, mostly white head. Tasty, pleasant notes of lightly toasted malts, semi-ripe citrus fruits, melon, restrained piney bitterness, bread. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Soft resin to finish, more bready malts, citrus fruits. Easygoing throwback gear.

Bottle from Country Market, near Farnham. Dark brown to black with a beige head. Quite a heavy roast. Black coffee, liquorice and a hint of blackcurrant. Dry, bitter finish, although there is some sweetness behind. It's drinkable, but the roast is a bit too heavy for my liking.
