Tasting Summary

These comments are the opinion of the individual reviewer and represent what they thought of the beer on a particular day in a particular pub. If a review is less favourable, it may be because the beer suffered somewhere in the supply chain between them and the brewery.

AndrewExcellent02 Oct 2025 I can see the similarity with Gadd's no 7, though the two are distinctly different. This had a nice fruity edge to it (plums) and was slightly tart. The hops were peppery.

AndrewAcceptable16 Mar 2016 The tightest sparkler I've ever seen. Pint presented like a pale cascading snow globe. Needless to say that stripped all the flavour out.

IanAcceptable17 Jan 2006 Deep gold with creamy head. Use of sparklers at this pub methinks. Slightly eggy aroma. Firmish in mouth with yeasty hop inish. Could be good but ruined by sparkler. Bitter citrus hop finish, bit bready. OK bitter
