500ml bottle from Percy Throwers Garden Centre, Shrewsbury. Poured into my old Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 11th June 2026. Pale golden body, thin white head. Slight orchard fruit nose and taste, leaning towards a citrus vibe, but not strongly. Say's it's a Session Ale on the front Label and I concur.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Light to middling gold, clear with a small white head. Slightly astringent aroma, some citrus, waxy lemon, grassy notes. Taste is fresh, slightly sweet, with suggestions of orange oils. Short finish. The body is medium full, a bit oily maybe, with soft carbonation. Forgettable.

Handpull cask from the Swan Hotel, Upton upon Severn. Light to mid-gold,clear, a small ring of white head and lots of lacing. Light grassy aroma,some lemon curd. Tastes sweet and lightly fruity, more tempered lemon character here, gentle vanilla malt. Light to medium body, no carbonation. It's okay,not particularly memorable but some nice bits along the way.

Bottle from Gloucester Services. Deep gold with a white head and a light to moderate fizz. Decent mouthfeel, impressive for a 3.5% brew. Caramel and lemon up front, followed by some marmalade and a touch of green, leafy hop. Rather enjoyed this; too many modern pale ales focus too much on the hops, and forget about the balance and satisfaction that malt flavours can bring to a beer; this one balances the malt and hops very well. Nice one.

Cask at Jewellers Arms, Birmingham. Pours golden amber with a medium sized foamy off-white head and excellent lacing. There’s a strong aroma of citrus with tangerine and melon there as well. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy but with a little underlying bitterness which gradually increases. Flavour has floral hops, stoen fruit and melon with hints of kiwi and lychee coming later. Finish is quite bitter. This is reasonable but too much fruity sharpness for my palate.
