This red ale has a predominantly malty character, with a complex blend of crisp, fruity and rich flavours, balanced by an emerging hoppiness in the finish.

Hand pulled half pint in my local Spoons on 10th March 2026. Poured a lovely bright mahogany colour, cream coloured crown on top. Malty (heavily roasted), bitter and earthy, liked it.

Pint at the Cross Keys in The City. This was ok, but really nothing special. It was just beer..... No hops, no nothing. Could just be another macro

Cask at Montgomerys Tower, Shrewsbury. Pours a solid ruby with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly malts with some fruity hints - plums and cherries. In the mouth it starts off sweet with a creamy texture but very quickly a little bitterness comes to the attention. Flavour is mainly red fruits with some underlying malts and hints of floral hops and spices. There’s more bitterness in the finish. This is decent.
