Drink Valley Autumn Beer Festival. High regard for Fixed Wheel but this is a big disappointmwt. As a 3.5% Black Country Bitter I'd go for it, but as a 5.0% Citrus fruit fest it really fails

Cask at the Queens Head, Stourbridge at 4.4%. Pours pale gold with a small head. Aroma is sweet ginger and straw. Taste has started to start with a light, soapy, yeasty ginger finish. Soft mouthfeel.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours a very pale straw with minimal off-white head and good lacing. Thereโs a sweet aroma with plenty of ginger and some hints of citrus. Sweetness and ginger to the fore in the mouth as well, with hints of malts and banana. Later some underlying bitterness can be detected, plus traces of lime and herbs leading to a fruity finish. This is decent.

Hand-pulled pint in The Wrekin on 20th July 2024. Misty orange pour, white crown. Citrus front with a herbal twist, decent enough but expected a bit more for the 5.7 ABV.
