Hand pulled pint in the local (Cock Hotel, Wellington, Shropshire) on 6th April 2012. This is a regular guest around Shropshire and I was surprised I hadn’t reviewed it before. Light golden body (almost lager-like) with a thinning white head. Aroma a mini-mix of mild malty molasses and citrusy hops: they come and go in the breeze interchanging as they go. The taste is also a mix of the same flavours in the smell: the beer becoming a little more bitter towards the end of each sip. Looks weaker than it is: good depth of flavours with an alcohol content that suits it.

21st April 2012: opening of the refurbished ‘Elephant and Castle’ in Dawley, Shropshire. Hand pulled pint: the body was a pale, clear, straw blond colour, small white head. Hoppy nose, both floral and citrusy, mild malt content as the beer warmed. Hop bitterness rules the taste stakes, this is a dry beer; pink grapefruit came to mind as the main non-beery flavour. The alcohol sits well within the brew and overall this is an easy drinking, refreshing beer.
