First (and worst) beer at the annual beer & cider festival in the Black Bear (Whitchurch) on 23rd May 2025. Hand pulled half pint in the pub garden. Hazed dirty golden body, white wispy head. Sour citrus taste, almost poured it onto the flowers but thought it might kill them. No idea why people like these sort of beers, I certainly don't.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours almost black with minimal tan head and good lacing. The aroma is a not unpleasant mix of roasted malts, raspberries and coffee. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy but with a little underlying sharpness. Flavour is mainly milky coffee, summer fruits and roasted malts. Hints of cola and gooseberries come later leading to a slightly dry finish. This is reasonable – but a bit weird.

Old rating from 03-10-15 - Tasted at the Jersey CAMARA beer festival. Pours a rich golden colour with a white foamy head. Aromas of grapefruit, lemon, mango & a slight floral hops. Tastes of hops, citrus, floral, peach, and some biscuits leading to malt overtones. Aftertaste is a dry bitterness with a hint of lemon & grapefruits. Overall a very good beer.

Old rating from 04-08-15 - 500ml bottle, brought back from Shrewsbury for me by a friend. Pours a very cloudy golden colour with a white head that lasts. Aromas of grapefruit and other fruits. Tastes very strongly of grapefruit, citrus, tangerine, lemon.. with the hops providing a nice IPA kick. Feels very summery, with some real quality in there.

Cask ale, half-pint at Jewellers Arms. Fair white head that laced quite well, clear golden body. Inviting smell of herbal hops with citric notes. Mixed hop fruity taste with lemon and peaches followed by satisfying fruity bitterness to the ending. Nice thirst quencher. (Birmingham, 25.04.2025).
