Wigan Beer Festival 2026, Beer#18. Quite a bland example of a new-age commercially-driven name for a hop. A crisp hoppy beer in the main, low on flavour.

Wigan Beer Festival 2026, Beer#15. Hazy pale yellow-gold in appearance, would probably have a head away from this festival, but not here. Hoppy with a balanced tropical fruitiness in the mix in both aroma and taste.

A beer from their local home brew competition, and this one is not a bad amateur effort, enhanced by the Mallinsons treatment. Black with a brown head. There's lots of very good regular porter styling in this one, the raspberry is secondary to this, but has its influence. Smooth and crisp make it very appealing, and it's good-looking too.

Cask at the Pup & Duckling, Solihull. Poured a slightly unclear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy, woody hops. The flavour is over moderate bitter, with a smooth, fresh, light pepper spice, woody hop bitter palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

This beer could refer to Erroll Flynn, who led a hedonistic life. A little dull for a direct beer & person comparison, easy smoothish texture, some hoppiness, pretty regular safe brewing here. Drinkable and light golden in colour.
