500ml bottle: did not realise it was bottle conditioned. Poured at home into an Abbot Ale glass tankard on 11th Sep 2015 during the ’Shires Virtual Bar’ event on the UK Ratebeer forum. Cloudy golden pour, was clear until the sediment spilled out into the glass. White foaming head. Aroma has some yeastiness (my fault for the pour) which overpowered the delicate floral and herblike nose somewhat. The taste was also compromised by the yeast sediment that came out the bottle. Well carbonated, the flavours were mildly bitter hoppiness and light maltiness, some piny, spicy notes in the taste, glad to find no citrus influence for me to complain about. I liked it and annoyed I allowed the sediment to leave the bottle.

Cask @ Montgomery’s Tower, Shrewsbury. Pours gold with small bubbly head. Aroma is lightly sweet. Taste is smooth toffee with a nice rounded sweetness. Definitely the best of Chapels range I’ve tried so far.

500ml bottle. Drunk in the park on a late Spring afternoon. Pours blonde with slight haze and decent foamy white head. Floral aroma. Typical blonde ale in the taste, a touch of wheat with a soft spiciness. On the whole not a bad effort.

500ml bottle. Pours blonde with full white head. Light hop nose. Taste is balanced, light, inoffensive with a soft bitter finish. Not necessarily a bad beer but nothing much to differentiate it from any other Shropshire golden ale.
