1st Oct 2015: cask at the Crown Inn, Oakengates Shropshire. Amber bodied beer with an off-white head that hung around. Good hop profile from the first sniff to the last drop, bitter and refreshing. Punches above it’s 3.6%ABV and has a better depth of flavour than many higher alcohol beers I have had had recently in the UK.
