Third of a pint at the Shrewsbury CAMRA Beer Festival on 25th September 2025. Decent traditional Mild, clean brown body, beige head, malty nose and taste, hints of chocolate and earthiness.

Relatively pale golden with the slightest bit of haziness to it. Gets a medium sized white head that shows good enough retention and nice lacing. Average intensity in the aroma: delicate cerealy, slightly crackery malts base with a hint of honey sweetness, relatively dominant (but kind of delicate/mild) hoppiness, with peach perhaps taking an edge, tangerine, floral notes, the slightest resinous hint on the back of things. A clean and well integrated aroma. Taste notes follow the aroma closely: again, average intensity and a quite clean profile. Light to medium sweetness, quite some bitterness for an english pale, not much for an ipa, depending how you want to look at it. Feels quite refreshing anyway. Quite light bodied, average carbonation; quite easily drinkable, decently lively. Overall: as mentioned, somewhere in the middle of english pale ale and ipa; a well made and pleasantly refreshing drinker, perhaps not as impressive as other beers in their portfolio.
