Can. Near opaque dark brown beer, tidy bubbly tan head. Raspberry candy on the nose without even giving it a snort! Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin dark malts mouthfeel wise but adequate dark malt cream and dark chocolate. Good clear raspberry, presented in a jam and candy fashion, about 80% jam and 20% candy, the flavour working pretty well with the dark malts. A light and crisp finish. Thought this would be a clunker but, always good to take a chance, actually not bad at all.

Can at the Crown Rivers LHR T5, 15/11/24. Moderately hazed amber with a well presented egg shell white head that stays for the show. Nose is caramel, orange peel, malt forward, bubblegum. Taste comprises grapefruit, bitter orange, grass, caramel malt, citric tinged straw. Medium bodied, light spritzy carbonation, semi drying close spiked with mellow juice laden hop bitterness. Okay entry level kind of an IPA ... touch of wanna be craft affair about it.

Hand-pulled pint in the Malt Shovel Tavern (Northampton) on 18th October 2024. Clean and clear amber, white crown that lasted. Nice traditional English Bitter, no citrus fruits were harmed brewing this. Really enjoyed it's 'old school' aroma and taste.

Bottle from somewhere after a long day of dog walking, wood stacking and driving family members everywhere. Good pour with a weird sweet and vanilla taste. Good mouthfeel but I just don't dig the flavour.

Pours black with a small foamy tan head. Aroma is dark malts, brown bread, and some chocolate and blackberry notes. A malty taste, brown bread, milk chocolate, and caramel flavours with some blackberry and treacle notes. A drying malty, light roasted finish.
