Hand pulled pint at the Railway Tavern, Newport Shropshire on 13th January 2026. Clean and clear golden body, white crust on top. Slight citrus leaning in the nose and taste, subtle fruity flavour, pleasant enough but lacks 'punch'.

Handpull cask at the Brunswick, Derby. Proper black with a swirl of tan head. Aroma of roast black malt, pine needles, some light citrus. Taste is bitter, almost charred after a very brief initial sweetness. Light sourness near the finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. An exciting beer.

Handpull cask at the King's Head, Leicester. It’s very dark brown, just a little bit translucent. Small khaki head which dissipates fairly quickly. Light aroma, some coffee, darker malts. Tastes sweet, gentle creamy coffee, leading to a gentle bitterness. Medium body with softer carbonation as befits cask. It's decent but a little bit anonymous.

On cask at The Two Trees micropub in Watford, Herts. A dark golden/straw coloured pour with a medium bubbly white head on top. Bitter, hoppy, citrus, orange action. Typical Oakham, it's fine.

Airport beer ✈️ fruity and juicy with notes of tangerine, mango, some peach, pine needles, light florals, nice semi sweet malty backing with a solid bitter edged hoppy finish. Good stuff.

Fra cask på The Mossy Well sammen med Stephen: klar gylden med fint gardinskum som varer så lenge det skal være. Floral, skogaktig og lettdrikkelig med fin bitterhet i avslutningen.

Fra cask på The Mossy Well: klar gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Mild aroma og god smak med mye citrus, furunål/eukalyptus, urter og noe floralt. Mild bitterhet i avslutningen, lett å drikke og like lett å glemme.
