(Cask at Gallow's Bird Real Ale Festival 2020) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was small, white and it lasted long. Aroma had earth, malts and grass. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, earth, malts, lightly sweetness and medium bitterness. Aftertaste was grassy, sweet and bitter. A different but tasty pale ale with grassy notes.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Light yellow/gold and ever so slightly hazy. Tropical fruit and orange peel in the aroma with some gummy resinous notes. Tastes mostly sweet, very fresh with a splendidly judged bitterness coating the tongue in the finish. Gentle but unmistakable notes of mango and orange in the aftertaste. This is splendid.

Cask pint on 15th May 2019, hand-pulled in the Pen & Wig, Cardiff. Amber body, beige head. Tropical fruitiness in the nose and taste. A real mixed bowl from start to finish, nice balance throughout too, some sweetness and bitterness for your senses to enjoy.
