Cask (handpump) at Jolly Butchers 1st Birthday Party on 19th April 2011. Someone said this was based on Pink Pride but the ABV is different, I didn’t find much evidence of fruit and this was way hoppier than I remember Pink Pride as being, so I’m not sure. What I am sure of is that there’s a damn fine hop character here. Juicy, flowery and aromatic without getting too blowsy. Very clean and refreshing mouthfeel. Another tasty, hoppy, low ABV beer from Brodies - a style that is becoming their signature.

On tap at the Jolly Butchers anniversary bash. Hazy amber beer with a residual white head. Light dry palate. Good fresh hops - grapefruit, orange, mango and peach with a whisper of red fruits. Light semi dry finish. Lingering bitter aftertaste. Packs a tasty wallop for it’s abv. Wish I had had this before the BrewDog Butchers Dog though as that beer put this in the shade a little.
