500ml bottle from Ludlow Food Festival. Has a lovely fluffy white head. Taste is basically a massive slanging match between bitter hops and fruity malts, with bitterness taking a narrow lead towards the end. Very nice indeed.

Cask at Newtown Food Festival. Pours a rusty orange with bready malts. Fairly average beer, but still rather pleasant.

500ml bottle from Ludlow Food Festival. An original take on the wheat beer style with a peculiar manuka honey edge and a dry peppery finish. A curious brew that actually works pretty well.
