Pint at The Shrewsbury Hotel, Shrewsbury, recommended by the bargirl. Pours ruby red. Has a faint sweetness to the malts that brings out the bitterness. Not bad at all.

Half pint shared with Finn, cask at JDW Waterhouse. Clear amber coloured body. Filmy layer, fragile lace. Smell of caramel malts and leafy hops. Malty-fruity taste with a marmalade impression leading to a nice bittersweet finish. Fits the bitter style very well (Manchester, 27.01.2013).
