Cask half-pint at the New Inn, Newport Shropshire on 1st April 2017: sat in the sunshine during their first ever beer festival. Pale amber pour, smooth white head. Semi-sweet with a mild citrusy leaning in both the nose and taste. Pleasant without having anything different or interesting within it’s makeup.
