Hand-pulled pint with Fish, Chips and Mushy Peas in the Armoury, Shrewsbury on 24th January 2024. Clean amber body, off-white crown. Malty front, like so many Welsh Bitters, this also held some bittering fruity hops, but the maltiness ruled the flavours from start to finish.

500ml bottle from Everyman's after driving back from London. Pours clear amber, good off-white head. Distinctly malty nose, good amber malt continuing through to taste, nicely bitter with a mild fruitiness. Decent Welsh bitter.

Clear chestnut brown with a frothy off-white head and a fruit malt aroma. It's a lovely old school light malty beer with touches of fruit and a dry, floral bitterness
