500ml bottle conditioned: BBD 31st Mar 2017. Poured carefully into an ’Old Speckled Hen’ badged vase shaped pint glass at home on 28th Oct 2016 during a ratebeer ’Virtual Bar’ session. Looks lovely, clear copper bodied, white head on top. Malts initially rule the roost, slowly however the hops rear their heads and the beer becomes more hop centric and bitter. Fruity notes in the flavour help to transfer the taste from semi-sweet caramel maltiness to grassy hop bitterness, clever stuff.

On cask at the Armoury in Shrewsbury. Appearance - golden amber with a nice fluffy head. Nose - orange and pale malt. Taste - more of the same. Loads of dried orange. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - the sum of the parts was good.
