Bottle from Grumpy Goat, Reading. Despite having been sat in my bag for some time this seemed to be somewhat wild as I opened it whilst waiting for a cab. Malty bitter aroma. Light brown. Frothy white head. Light-medium bitter. Malty. Thin. Light. Fizzy carbonation. Nice enough but not overly interesting.

14/7/2019. Cask at the Poole Hill Brewery (home of Southbourne Ales), Bournemouth. Pours dark bronze brown with a lasting creamy off-white head. Aroma of dark fruits, hops, light roasted malt, chocolate, liquorice and light herbal notes. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, very soft carbonation. Good brew.
