Cask at White Hart, Shifnal. Pours golden amber with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. It has a hoppy aroma with hints of honey and malts. In the mouth it is slightly sweet before juicy bitterness overwhelms it with continental hops, citrus and berry fruits. Later there are traces of bitter oranges and ginger leading to a dry and somewhat sticky finish. It’s reasonable.

Bottle from whole foods. Poured moderate brown. Not much bubbles. Bit of nuts and gingerbread and malts. OK.

On cask at Fountain Inn, Gornal - clear as a bell yellow body with a firm white head. Fairly grassy nose with some basic malty features. Nice enough, but not a groundbreaker.

Clear and golden with a frothy / creamy white head and soft cereal and a hint of lemons on the nose. Smooth and light, there’s a little citrus kick up front, light malt and floral hops to follow with a dry bitter finish
