Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a golden amber with a sizeable off-white head and good lacing. Aroma is a mix of traditional and floral hops. In the mouth autumn fruits are the initial flavour alongside traces of pine. Traditional hops and marmalade come through fairly quickly also, plus some underlying malts. Later still there are hints of ginger and mango leading to a slightly spicy finish. This is a decent strong bitter.

Shared third of a pint at the 31st Shrewsbury Beer Festival in St Mary's Church on 28th September 2023. Copper Mild (is what the brewery call it's colour and style), and it is copper in colour I suppose, flat white head. Malty front with an earthy, nutty feel. Liked it.

Cask @ Shrewsbury Real Ale Festival 2023. Pours a deep gold, white head. Quite a deep caramelised malt character, twiggy elements, nice grainy malt notes, prickly bitter close. Good stuff.

Cask at Hops, Crewe. Was surprised to find I hadn’t rated this before – certainly drunk it on many occasions. Anyway, it pours golden yellow with a sizeable white head and good lacing. A fairly powerful sweetish aroma with a mix of floral and traditional hop and hints of honey and grass. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy / syrupy with plrnty of honey to start with. After a while you notice the hops and some bitterness, plus grains and hints of spices. This is rather nice and very drinkable. Not sure about it being a “premium bitter” though – though I don’t know what else to suggest. Reminds me a lot of Falstaff Smiling Asssassin.
