Bottle from Gloucester Services, Gloucestershire. Dark amber with a creamy-frothy head. Hoppy and malty, but the former is slightly more dominant in taste. Easy enough strength.

Handpull cask at the Barrels, Hereford.deep gold and clear once it settles with a creamy off-white head. Sweet floral hop aroma with hints of gardenia, berry and light citrus. Bittersweet taste with a light astringency. The bitterness in the hop increases near the finish. Full body especially for the ABV with soft carbonation. A nice mix of the traditional and the more modern.
