Half-pint, hand-pulled in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury on 26th Jan 2015. Clear light amber pour with a full white pillow for a head. Both the nose and taste were of floral and mildly citrusy hops, refreshing and clean tasting: not as bitter as I expected to be honest, but a fine beer and in good condition.

On tap Tap East. Black dark ruby edges. Almost like a black ipa. Roast malts then some pineapple fruit from the hops. Too roast for me. Good hops though the sorachi ace pineapple vanilla comes thru.
