This light pale ale is vibrant with citrus, tropical fruit and hedgerow berry flavours, meandering to a gentle bitter finish. Without compromising on big hop flavours, it’s a very easy going beer at only 2.7%. A light and fruity lager could handle a more subtly flavoured cheese. The sweet tasting, creamy and slightly spicy flavour of the cheese combined with this pale ale is heaven.

Bethany Goodwin –
I would disagree with the description of this cheese. It is incredibly blue tasting to the extent that it was too intense for even the fans of blue cheese to eat.

I really enjoyed this! If you like strong blue creamy cheese this will be an interesting one for you to try. I liked it but I think it many be an acquired taste
Matthew George (verified owner) –
Decent cheese but majorly overestimated how much I’d get based on the picture. I received a piece of cheese about the size of two match boxes.
Steph Rodgers –
Delicious and the texture is sublime.

Absolutely love this cheese, the rind has a bit of spice to it and the inside is mild and creamy which works beautifully together.
