Cask at Moon Under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours “bitter brown” with a medium sized foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops and caramel in the aroma. Floral hops again in the mouth, there it is quite sweet but with a little bitterness underneath, and a watery texture. Tropical fruits, kiwi and peach are also prominent with some spicy hints coming later. A touch of dryness in the finish. This is reasonable but definitely on the bland side.

Pint in Lymington. Not the best pint, maybe a sour note, which is really not my thing. I followed it with 3 pints ot Landlord and that was on top form.
