I was given a free pint of this bitter by the then landlord at the time as I was one of two people cheering on Warrington’s rugby league Shield victory in the Autumn of 2011 - the other was his mate, an ex-Wolves player, hence the freebie. I don’t remember it too well except it was a pretty decent bitter as the landlord asked me to comment on it for him and I know I liked it.
