On the way to the Bradford Beer Festival, so I guess this could be classed as Beer '0' given it's a quick one between trains in the city centre Wetherspoon. Healthy pale ale, good depth in texture. Hoppy

Beer number four at the Great British Winter Beer Festival 2025. Glowing beer with the slightly dry and robust talus hop providing a mildly metallic-bready taste.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo via SHIG, cheers. Aroma of nuts, malts, chocolate and hints of coffee. Taste is roasted malts and slightly ashy. The nuts come through but is a bit thin. Not bad.
