Hand-pulled pint in The Cock Hotel, Wellington Shropshire on 6th May 2014. Golden bitter with an off-white crown that hung around. Mild fruity hop nose with an undertone of light maltiness. The taste follows the same pattern although it is slightly more bitter than the aroma suggests: a good session ale.
