Cask at Montgomerys Tower, Shrewsbury. Pours golden yellow with a small almost white head and good lacing. There’s malts and citrus in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite sweet and juicy with plenty of citrus, but also some old school hoppiness. Hints of marmalade, passion fruit and ginger later as well. Some fruitiness in the finish. This is reasonable – more a golden ale than a pale though.

Clear and golden with a frothy white head and a soft sweet citrus aroma. Light to medium bodied with marmalade bitterness, a touch of chewy malt and some floral hop character, finishes dry and bittersweet

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A pale amber pour with a tight white head; gentle fruity aroma, hard to identify; but a big passion fruit taste that makes it obvious; then a long dry finish with some bready malts and grapefruit pith. Very, very, tasty.

Can't believe I've never rated this one before. This one goes back to my dim and distant youth in the Cotswolds when my father used to drink this stuff. This is a best bitter with a weight towards the sweet malt but with some bitter hops. As ever with this brewery there's a lot going on with this beer and I always have a soft spot for all their beers. Even the completely bonkers double stout.

Cask at Poste of Stone, Stone. Pours golden yellow with a medium sized foamy off-white head and good lacing. Is slow to settle but does so eventually. There’s floral hops, grains and a few hints of malt in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet but with a little underlying bitterness. Floral hops, barley sugar and lemongrass in the flavour to start with. Later some malts come through along with traces of honey and marmalade. Finish is dry and quite sticky. This is decent enough – but the finish lets it down.
