Cask at PACK, Wolverhampton (not yet listed on Brewver). Pours a solid gold with a small scummy almost white head and excellent lacing. Tge aroma has malts, biscuits and hedgerow fruits. In the mouth it is sweets and creamy but with a little underlying bitterness. Flavour is malts, corn, alcoholic strength and hints of citrus with some floral hops coming through later. Bitterness lasts into the dry finish. This is decent – plenty of depth to the flavour.

Thursday 16th October 2025. Cobweb tasting session with four friends, almost every beer being very old or just 'out of date' (mostly very old). My place being the venue. Cheers Mat for this old 500ml bottle conditioned wheat beer. It was a little cloudy and sad to be honest, it had been locked away for years before seeing the light of day and it didn't like being disturbed. The years have not been kind to this. I most likely had it before the internet was invented, but I can't really remember it, I'm getting old myself. Anyway I have scored it kindly.

Handpull cask at the King's Head, Leicester. Light gold and mostly clear with a small and slightly scummy off-white head. Light lemony aroma, slightly astringent, little bit soapy. Taste is bitter but not intensely so, lots more sharp citrus, long bitter finish. Pretty basic stuff but absolutely drinkable.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Railway Tavern, Newport, Shropshire on 12th July 2025. Clean golden pour, white crown. All a bit bland and subtle, New Zealand hops not doing their thing in a watered down Blonde Ale. Pity, because I've enjoyed beers from these guys before.

On cask at the Guildford Arms.
Appearance - mat black with a red chink at the bottom of the glass. Beige head.
Nose - molasses, blackberry smoke and liquorice.
Taste - blackberry and liquorice with woodsmoke edge to it.
Palate - medium bodied rich and then roasty finish.
Overall - really good stout.
