Hogan Sampling		12 Apr 2025	Second night on here and holding its head and lacing well on this collaboration between the Peterborough and Ramsgate brewers. A hoppy first hit. This was followed by a dry bitterness in the mouthfeel alongside a citrusy fruitiness rising up. A very dry oily hoppiness persisting in its aftertaste.

Hogan Sampling		28 Mar 2025	Good head and lacing still on this pale's second night on and for this Peterborough-based and Ramsgate Brewery collaboration. A citrusy first hit followed by a fruity mouthfeel. A hoppy dryness from the East Kent Goldings' hops in the aftertaste and very moreish.
Philip Pirrip		27 Mar 2025	Seemed totally Oakham to me with same old Oakham traits
Hogan Sampling		27 Mar 2025	Fresh on this evening and holding superb head and lacing and the latter is still on the side of glass when completely empty of this pale ale. A dry hoppy first hit on this collaboration between Peterborough-based Oakham and Ramsgate's Gadds' Brewery. A slightly citrusy and sweetish mouthfeel coming from the fruits therein, including lemon and grapefruit, but a moreish hoppiness winning over on the taste buds from those East Kent Goldings' hops. A dry fruity hoppiness lingering.

Hogan Sampling		12 Apr 2025	Came with great long-lasting head and lacing on this collaboration between the Oakham head brewer, Ed Sharman, in Peterborough and Gadds' top brewer, Eddie Gadd, from Ramsgate. A case of two Eds are better than one in the making of this pale! A hoppy first hit. A dry, oily bitterness came to the fore in the mouthfeel. This was accompanied by a fruit-infused flavouring of grapefruit and lemon plus herbs coming at you. This climaxed with a dry hoppiness lingering and where East Kent Goldings near Faversham were mixed with the USA-sourced Cascade hops, and all because the two Eds came together on this one!
