8/1/2026. Can bought at The Dove Street Inn, Ipswich. Pours fine. Has an odd chalky, grainy, sherbet aroma. Taste is similar, with a slightly tart edge. Not great.

No idea how I ended up with this! Bright clear amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head, doesn't last. Light palate, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin malts, a touch of cereal, sugar puffs I think. Light pine. Sweet estery fruits, ripe and somewhat artificial. Light dry finish. Annoying on almost every level and not at all bitter FFS.

24/10/2025. Bottle at The Dove Street Inn, Ipswich. Flowery, malty, twiggy, chalky aroma. Quite basic stuff but inoffensive and for a good cause.

24/10/2025. Tap at The Dove Street Inn, Ipswich. Very hazy pour. Aroma is hoppy and fruity. A little sweet. Actually quite nice and better than expected from a traditional does craft tap.
