Cask at the Plough, Worcester on 1st April 2023. Golden amber with shallow off-white foam and full lacing. Hoppy aroma and liquid pass, and a satisfyingly bitter finish. Full bodied with a zingy mouthfeel. Superb.

19/5/2021. Bottle courtesy of minutemat, cheers. Pours slightly hazy amber orange with a frothy off-white head. Aroma is citrus, tropical, fruit, grass, flowers, caramel. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness which develops nicely and finishes well. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Quite nicely done.

500ml bottle; BBE Jun 2021. Drank at home on 28th May 2020, during the virus Lock In. Bright amber body, white topping. Hops, as you'd imagine from the name, rule the nose and flavours here. Not a crazy 'West Coast' style hop bomb, more a subtle nod to the gentle side of hop bitterness. Citrus leanings from the hop varieties and refreshing in nature, it's an easy drinking brew and a nice addition to the Hobsons range.

500ml bottle from Appleyards, drunk on VE Day. Pours clear amber, small white head. Aroma of modest grapefruit hops. Taste is fairly light with subtle grapefruit and citrus coming through, good bitterness. Fine, lightly hoppy amber. Typically South Shropshire style real ale.
