A very pleasant Red Ale from the legendary Hook Norton Brewery. Sampled on draught at JDW Mossy Well. A nice malty base with notes grapefruit and pine. Distinctive Red Ale flavour - a hint of rye in the malt flavour? I may be mistaken …A very easy drinking, great tasting beer. Highly recommended.

Cask handpull at Willow Walk JDW Victoria
. Clear mid brown colour lasting beige head. Its a tasty malty bread best bitter. Malts are soft brown wholemeal bread. Not much bitterness. Andrew C would say it has a malt cushion. Decent enough. Good condition good temperature. Good malty best bitter with enough bitter finish to make it interesting.

Cask at Wheatsheaf, Stoke. Pours a golden brown (with a reddish tinge) with a small foamy off-white head and excellent lacing. Not much of an aroma – just hints of mango and citrus. In the mouth it is quite bitter with some sharp traces too, and a slightly watery texture. There’s floral hops, grapefruit and citrus in the flavour. Finish is dry and somewhat sticky. This is reasonable but a bit too much citrus for my liking.

Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2026, Beer#4. Darker clear golden-amber red ale. Bittered red ale character although sweetish in nose with berry-fruit providing this. Hoppy and easy enough.
