Cask ale, one-third pint outside in the backyard at Beer Engine. A creamy white head that laces quite well, clear pale golden body. Promising floral aromas with citric moments. Hop fruity flavours of lemon and grass. Ends with ripe fruity bites, bittersweet. Soft on swallow. Decent. (Sheffield, 30.04.2025).

[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading. My 100th Bristol rating.] A pale amber pour with a loose white head; grapefruit aroma; sharp lemony citrus taste with some grapefruit pithy; then a chewy bitter marmalade finish. Tasty.

Handpull cask at the Beehive, Swindon. Pale gold, clear with an uneven white head. Herbal aroma with loads of dill and a bit of white pepper. Taste is bittersweet with the bitterness hitting early on to dominate the finish.light body with soft to no carbonation. Good stuff, a little odd but worth trying.
