Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a golden yellow with a msall white head. Summer fruits and a trace of citrus in the aroma. In the mouth there is a very brief sensation of hops before Sweet malts and tangerine assert themselves. Later on floral hops stage a recovery. Texture is quite watery. Finish is malty and slightly smoky. This is alright but not wildly ezciting.

Clear pale gold, with a creamy white head (in an old school handled glass, don't you know!) and a very subtle light malt and citrus aroma. Light biscuit malt and citrus hop flavour, on a light to medium bodied, slightly grainy mouthfeel, with a sharp punch up front before mellowing out, and a bittersweet finish

Hand-pulled cask pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates, Shropshire on 21st Dec 2018. White fluffy head on a golden body. Not a huge amount going on aroma wise, taste is a decent blend of earthy hops and light malty sweetness.
