Quick half at the Good Intent before heading home on the train and my notes read: Damp tea towels, grains, yeasty sour face slap, old cardigans, some actual fruit note, medium bodied, drying. Its crap.

Keg at Good Intent, Birmingham. Cloudy gold, small white head, nice retention. Doughy bread aroma with a citrus touch. Taste of bread, grapefruit, tangy citrus, pith. Poured cold, fair carbonation. A fruity, tangy and refreshing gold

Cask at the Good Intent, Birmingham. Clear gold, small white head. Aroma of pineapple, citrus, background malts. Zesty, malty, light tanginess, good bitterness running through. Nothing amazing but it's decent.

Keg from Good Intent, Birmingham. Pours black lovely looking off white head. Looks like a Guinness. More aroma than the old Irish classic. Nice roast and coffee notes without being overly rich. Taste of roasted malts and coffee bitterness, some blackcurrant, semi sweetness to give some balance. Nice smooth body with low carbonation. Just a bit more hoppy fruitiness or spice would turn this into a great stout, but it's very good.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Good Intent on 8th November 2024. Golden body, white topping. Light citrus nose and taste, some malt action but it's all a bit too subtle and weak, surprised it held 5.4% ABV to be honest.

Cask at The Good Intent, Brum. Aroma grainy, slightly sour. Clear light brown. Thick foamy white head. Grainy and malty before developing a sugary streak. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. Pleasant enough twiggy bitter.

Cask at King Charles II House, Worcester on 6th April 2024. Pale gold with shallow, dull foam and pattern lacing. Biscuit malts and tangy fruits in aroma. Sweet and tart fruitiness in-mouth, and a finish of caramel malt and tangy fruits. Light bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.
