I went to a wedding reception and this was the only ale, bottled behind the bar. I recognised the bottle but thought it was brewed in New Zealand. Perhaps I saw it out there once, who knows. But fabulous to say its almost local, coming from the Purity brewery in Warwickshire.

Anyway, it’s a nice golden colour and a slight head.

I’m struggling to spot the flavours here though. It’s a bloody nice pint with a lot of depth, but I can’t work out what is going on in there. A bit fruity but nothing standing out for me. It’s simple, a bit bitter but easy going. I think if the mass produced lagers were off, a lager drinker could drink this all night. It’s simple.

4.5% in a 500ml bottle from my local wine merchants (S.H Jones)

Lovely, but simple. A bit like me.
