Clear and golden, just a hint of chill haze, a frothy/creamy white head and a mellow citrus and cereal malt aroma. Light bodied with a touch of graininess, sweet citrus fruit and cereal malt flavour, citrus hop bitterness and a dry bittersweet finish.

Bradford CAMRA Beer Festival 2026, Beer#16. Clear golden coloured ale. A honey beer, which is impactful in both aroma and taste, despite being relatively light in both aspects. There's a smooth texture because of it, and is fairly flavoursome.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours a hazy golden straw with a sizable foamy off-white head, good lacing and medium carbonation. There’s floral hops, honey and biscuits in the aroma. In the mouth it is smooth, creamy and quite bitter but with a little underlying sweetness. There’s floral hops, citrus and malts in the flavour plus hints of ginger and herbs. Bitterness lasts into a decidedly dry finish. This is quite decent.

Sweetish and lightly toasted bready malts, some fruity citrus notes, caramel, light nutty, grain, cereal, medium body, nice soft cask carb, malty and bitter hoppy finish. Nice one.
