Hand pulled half pint at the Railway Tavern, Newport (Shropshire) on 3rd March 2025. Clean and clear light golden body, white crust on top. Fruity and herbal, soft feel to it's body, not a huge 'Wheat Beer' fan but this was fine.

500ml bottle from the lcbo. Clear copper pour, small off white head. Slightly skunky aroma, loads of fuggles and goldings upfront, with some citrus and pine resin. Very strong pithy bitterness with a good balance of biscuity malts. A nice British style ipa using West coast techniques with UK hops.

Cask handpull at Barrel Vaults JDW St Pancras. Clear pale gold colour lasting white head. A neutral aroma. Some ale yeast light English hop. Yep ale yeast flavour in the mouth. Not great condition not a lot of flavour. Actually this is all back end bitterness and hedgerow English hops. Get through the lack of aroma and the finish is decent. Yes the finish is solid.
