Cask at Ebenezers, Crewe. Pours golden yellow with a small off-white head and good lacing. There’s biscuits and hints of floral hops in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy but with some bitter hints plus grapefruit and marmalade. Later on come some floral hops And hints of spice leading to a slightly bitter finish. This is decent.

[September 2023] Pale golden ale with a frothy/creamy white head. Fruity nose, fresh with a fruity flavour, bit one-dimensional but nice enough to consider another

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Salopian on 19th February 2024. Last beer from the barrel, so not too great (the next person to ask for one didn't get it, the barmaid couldn't draw it up, just froth) condition or taste wise. It was however very dark with a beige head and was oaty and stouty.

The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a smooth, somewhat light and watery, yeasty, light citrus, woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.
