Can on the train from Burton to Bingohame, thanks to Simon Cheeseboard (who wasn't on the train), 17/02/23. Clear golden orange with a decent just off white head that thins to a swirl. Nose is pale malts, floral, citric zest, bready, hint of vanilla. Taste comprises perfume, vanilla, floral notes, breads, sweet edged, honey. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Passable lager ... overly sweet and flabby for my liking.

1/3 pint, 4.7 % abv, on tap at Pilot Boat Inn. Dark brownish body, fair lacing from a patchy, beige head. Dark doughy nose, mid-sweet. The taste profile has got dark dough, hints of chocolate, and a little piney bite. Ends malts fruity, carefully roasted. Just alright. (Bembridge, IoW, 20.10.2022).

1/3 pint, 5.5 % abv, on tap at Pilot Boat Inn. Creamy white head that laced quite well, cloudy golden body. Moderate citrus aromas, hints of apricot. Hop fruity flavours of peaches, orange, and apricot, backbone of wheat. A bit mealy. Bittersweet fruity ending. Medium bodied. Decent. (Bembridge, IoW, 20.10.2022).
