Can picked up from Hereford Beer house, had this sat in the garden at Isobel and Jude's, Wednesday 11th June 2025. Pours warm hazy gold, slim white head. Soft mouthfeel, nice, there is a pleasant citrus bite, dry finish. Not as resinous as expected but still a very nice beer and I believe the first that I've ever had from this outfit.

Tap at The Colmore, Birmingham. Black pour with beige to tanned head and good retention and lacing. Aroma has a bitter roastiness with coffee and hint of chocolate. Flavour wise I'm picking up more milk chocolate than coffee but very flavoursome. Medium bodied, semi-dry. Very good.

Keg at Colmore, Brum. Hazy light gold. Thick foamy white head. Light-medium bitter. Resinous but not pushing it. Underlying sweet fruits. Ditto this for flavour. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Alright but not overly satisfying.

On tap at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours a murky pale straw with a small foamy white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops and stone fruit in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and zesty but with some underlying bitterness which gradually comes to dominate. Flavour has floral hops, mango and melon to start with hints of spices coming through later leading to a gingery finish. No really my sort of beer, but is quite pleasant – it certainly hides it’s strength well.
