440ml can from Middle Farm, Firle. Poured a clear golden colour with a a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is earthy, light green hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, earthy, dry, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. An old skool EPA. Can’t say I detected much evidence of the cascade.

I abandoned my quest for a free t-shirt at the Rochdale event earlier - too many venues with no new beers for me. On the plus side this is a new beer I wouldn't have found otherwise. Clear deeper golden with a creamy head. Session textured hoppy brew, feeling fuller than its strength might suggest. Some sugars, most notable in aftertaste.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 12th October 2025. Clear coppery amber with lasting, dense yellowy white foam and scant lacing. Nutty malts aroma. Zesty peel and nutty/caramel malt mix in-mouth, and a finish that gains bitterness and tart citrus juices. Velvet smooth mouthfeel and a full to medium body.
gave a cheers!
