Hand-pulled half-pint at the 32nd Shrewsbury Beer Festival on 26th September 2024. Golden body, clean and bright, on top a white crust. Tropical fruit front, back and sides, pink grapefruit being the main player for me.

Hand-pulled half-pint at the 32nd Shrewsbury Beer Festival on 26th September 2024. Darwin's Original double dry hopped for extra aroma and hoppy bitterness, or just one of those reasons? Anyway it's a decent beer (and very similar to the base brew), didn't notice any aroma change but it was a little more dry and bitter in the mouth. Same spicy, malty undertones as the Original.

Hand-pulled half-pint at the 32nd Shrewsbury Beer Festival on 26th September 2024. Apparently this is Lemon Dream that has been tampered with. Extra lemon and lime juices added to the original beer after brewing. Only 8 barrels produced (no idea if that's 36 gallon barrels or just 8 firkins, or whatever). Anyway it's a clean and bright golden beer with a wispy white topping. Lemons and limes rule the nose and taste, as you'd expect from the pump clip description.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Boot on 27th September 2024. Slight haze in the golden body, white crown. Easy going brew with an orange and grape skin like main flavour, bordering on sweetness before a bitterness takes over before the finish.

Hazy gold with a frothy white head. Beautiful pale ale with peach and apricot on the nose, soft and mellow with lovely fruity notes and just the tiniest hint of bitterness

Cask @ Salopian brewery with Mum, Ben, Andrew, Kerry and Soph a few days before leaving for France. Clear gold pour, pure white collar. Pleasant bitter, some fruity shades, soft pale malt, quite a simplistic easy-drinker.
