Can. A light haze on this gold beer, small and short lived pale cream colour head. Light palate, smooth, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, a light creamy sweetness, some cereal. Cooling pine, mild citrus and stone fruits. A very mild bitterness before a light and semi dry finish. Clean, a tad sweet, for me, the lack of hop welly is the major issue. Overall, inoffensive but too polite for a dipa for me.

Cask at the Alehouse, Reading on 20th September 2025. Crystal clear dark brown with pale tan foam and a fair amount of lacing. Sweet roasty malt aroma. Roasty malts in-mouth with berry fruits. An interesting note of cola to start a roasty finish. Velvet smooth mouthfeel and a medium to full body.
