Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. The nose has a soft lemony aroma along with some caramel. In the mouth it is juicy and sweet, though slightly watery. There’s lemon and citrus at the start, with hops coming through later, turning things bitter. Finish is mainly citrus though. Not bad, but not very exciting either – a standard golden ale really.

Cask at JDW, Paradise Circus, Birmingham. Poured a very slightly hazy medium amber with a broken white head, lots of lace and no carbonation. The aroma is a little malty, but weak. The flavour is medium bitter, malty, with a hint of toffee and a little fruit on the palate and in the aftertaste. This is what a real ale should taste like and I could honestly drink this all night long!
