Tap at the Pup and Duckling, Solihull. Poured a slightly hazy medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, light hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a smooth grainy mineral, cardboard, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. Not very inspiring.

Cask pint in The Cock Hotel, Wellington Shropshire on 24th Feb 2017. Clean amber pour, white head with lacing. Do not know if the recipe has changed, but this was caramel heavy in both the aroma and taste, toffee esters in the nose too. Not as sweet as the aroma indicated but still very malty and semi-sweet in nature. Hops try to balance out the malty molasses, but do not quite make it. My sweet tooth loved it.

Half-pint, cask, hand-pulled in The Crown Inn, Oakengates Shropshire on 19th Sep 2016. Slight haze to the light golden body, on top a white head. Floral aroma and flavours, strange softness to the palate, could not get my head around the smooth body or the actual taste, which I found too wishy-washy. Had the beer in between two highly hopped APA’s so might have been poisoned by their strength and depths of flavour.
