A great session Drop of lotion to oil all the parts. Summer ale brewed all year round. An extremely pleasant, straw colored beer with a gorges fresh, hoppy aroma. This, coupled with an ample bitterness, leads to a long, dry finish.

(proper pint cask draft at the brewery, sampled 16 Sep... review copied from notes taken on my phone)
listed at 5% abv on their board... honey and grass... apricot?
what I can add from memory: thought I'd taken more notes... I'd be hard pressed to remember more having had several pints by the time I tried this... I do recall that for me it stood out starkly against the other lighter cask draws I had, with the honey and later apricot really jumping out (2021)

Had on cask. Murky orange body with a huge tan head and spotted lacing. Mild citrus grassy nose. Taste adds mild bright malts, but otherwise the same, very dialed in but not very potent. Feel is full bodied but light and chewy, hops are gentle but very present.
