Cask at Nags Head, Shrewsbury. Pours golden amber with a small off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma, just some traces of floral hops. In the mouth it is very briefly sweet before hoppy bitterness floods through and overwhelms everything. There’s some malts and marmalade too, plus hints of grains and golden syrup. Finish is dry and strongly bitter. This is decent – hides its strength well. More of an IPA than an APA though in my opinion.

(Cask at King's Arms, Bethnal Green, London, 18 Nov 2023) Reddish brown colour with creamy, tan head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of caramel, sour cherries, oak wood and red fruit. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, red fruit, raisins, rum, a slight oxidization and a balanced spicy bitterness in a finish with a mild acidity. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Still a bit young, but rich and tasty. Very nice.
