Hand-pulled half-pint in the Shrewsbury Hotel (Spoons) on 24th January 2024. Looked fine, clean and clear autumnal amber with an off-white blanket of creamy bubbles. Malty front, but 'on the turn' should returned it really as it was clearly towards the end of the barrel. Scored kindly because I'm sure it's OK normally.
