Hand pulled half pint at the Crown Inn, Oakengates on 30th May 2025. Light golden body, white crust. Not bad at all for a 3.4% beer. Subtle citrus notes in the nose and taste, mild malty sweetness for a base.

Cask at Kings Yard, Shifnal. Pours a hazy deep burgundy with a small cream / yellow foamy head and good lacing. There’s a creamy aroma with malts and toffee to hand. In the mouth it is sweet and creamy (almost cloying). In the mouth, alcoholic strength is immediately apparent along with malts, dried fruit and figs with traces of honey coming through later. Finish is slightly sweet. This is excellent !

Cask at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. I have limited notes on this one but I recall it wasn't that great. Dark gold with white head. Was malty with biscuit and some peppery notes. Mid-bitter finish. Semi-dry and near medium bodied. Just tasted quite basic.

Cask at the Evening Star, Brighton on 9th May 2025. Clear pale gold with shallow white foam and scant lacing. Fine aroma of zesty peel and dessert fruits. Leafy and citrus hops in-mouth with sweet malts. Leafy hops and sweet orchard fruits dominate the finish. Light bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.
