4% ABV Must have reduced from 4.2
I reviewed July 2025.
Very average beer. No hop aroma. Pours orange. A little too sweet. Bitter taste but no real flavour. Ok best bitter but too sweet and heavy even at 4% for a session ipa.

Pint at the Cock Inn, Headley.
A: Bronze colour, it was very clear after an initial haze rose, didn’t leave much lacing.
S: Citrus fruits combined with an earthy Fuggles character.
T: Slight notes of grapefruit which lead to a bitter finish.
M: Smooth, no real carbonation.
O: Standard bitter, nothing more, nothing less.

Bottled and part of the Aldi beer festival
Pours a golden clear body with thin white head
Aroma is golden syrup
Taste is aspirin
It's insipid and awful
