Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford. Pours “bitter brown” with a small foamy off-white head. Malts to the fore in the aroma plus autumn fruits and some hoppy hints. In the mouth it fluctuates between being slightly sweet and slightly bitter – maybe favouring sweetness a little. Flavour has marmalade, malts and stewed apples, pus soem hints of ginger. Finish is quite juicy. This is a decent beer – though I would call it more of a standard bitter than a red ale.

500ml bottle from Darts Farm: BB 24th October 2024. Drank at home on 15th February 2024, poured into an old half-pint countryman glass tankard (twice, obviously). Flat and like home brew, no 'fizz' on opening the bottle, no head on the golden body. Old cobweb like dusty flavour, a lesser guy would have drain poured it, but I'm made of sterner stuff and I manfully drank the lot. I may well be rough tomorrow, but I'm having a Cider Frenzy with Ben my son later, so I was always going to be a bit 'groggy'. Sediment arrived in the second pour, loads of floating particles suspended within the beer. Fully expect to be able to shit through the eye of a needle from 100 paces in the morning!
