330ml can poured at RSC Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon - Slightly hazy yellow with no head. Grainy, a bit of cereal, some metallic hops. Drinkable, and an easy go to when you're the driver.

330ml can poured at RSC in Stratford-upon-Avon - clear yellow, foaming white top. Interesting combination in this one, quite a lot of malty flavours with plenty of cereal in there too.

330ml can poured at Royal Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon - clear gold, no head. Rather lacklustre effort, some citrus quality but that's it.

11/6/2025. Bottle shared by Colin, cheers. Pours hazy amber bronze with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is malty, herbal, butterscotch, grainy. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, quite lively. Drying finish. Not great.

Bottle on the 1045 KX-NCL lumo, thanks to Dave, 14/05/2025.
Deep amber to copper topped with a beige cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is stewed fruits, orange peel, caramel, biscuit.
Taste comprises biscuit, herb, dull fruits, brown bread, hint of green apple.
Medium body, fine carbonation, semi drying close with little in the way of any hop presence.
Best stick to wine making chaps ... perhaps you're goos at that... you're clearly useless at brewing an IPA in 2025!

Can at home in Hackney - cheers to Andre who sourced from Majestic. Pours clear pale yellow-gold with a small, foamy white head. Lightly sweet with simple pale biscuits, very faint apple notes, cereal, dry hay. Light bodied with average carjornion. Lightly drying finish, cereal grains. Quite basic but drinkable.
