Pint at the Cross Keys in The City. This was ok, but really nothing special. It was just beer..... No hops, no nothing. Could just be another macro

Cask at Montgomerys Tower, Shrewsbury. Pours a solid ruby with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly malts with some fruity hints - plums and cherries. In the mouth it starts off sweet with a creamy texture but very quickly a little bitterness comes to the attention. Flavour is mainly red fruits with some underlying malts and hints of floral hops and spices. There’s more bitterness in the finish. This is decent.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 8 Nov 2025) Amber colour with foamy, tan head. Malty, slightly hoppy nose with apricots, caramel and orange peel. Malty taste with notes of caramel, a touch of chocolate, dried apricots and a balanced bitterness with slightly dusty/herbal hops. Light body, quite dry. Refreshing and easy drinking. Quite nice.

Clear amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Light palate, smooth start with decent fine minerally carbonation coming through on the back end. Smooth malts, a mild malt cream, biscuit and a light touch of caramel. Ripe citrus and a little English hop orchard fruits vibe. Fair amount of esters. Airy smooth finish. A pleasant affair but I was just hoping for something a little less Belgian.

A big old 500ml bottle from Sainsbury's I suspect. Clear gold, good white crown. Nicely crisp hop bitterness, teasing citrus.. for an AF version it's very decent.
