Cask at Lych Gate, Wolverhampton. Pours a pale straw with a small white head and good lacing. Malts, honey and citrus vie for attention in the aroma. Floral hops to the fore in the mouth, with some sweet malts underneath. Later flavours include lemon, coriander and hints of other spices. Finish is dry and spicy. This is quite nice – one of their better efforts.

Cask half-pint at The Anvil, Shifnal on 22nd August 2021. Pale golden body, white head. Subtle aroma of light malts and citrus fruits, taste also citrussy with a weak malty underbelly. Nice, easy drinking beer, but it's not going to test your senses too greatly.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. Tropical fruits are in the nose and dominate also in the mouth. Oranges, mango and pineapple. It has a creamy texture with some underlying sweet malts and caramel. Finish is quite a bit more bitter. Nice and refreshing but somewhat bland.

500ml bottle direct from brewery. Eye - clear copper, small off white head, ok retention. Nose - big caramel notes (they list as a separate adjunct), a little nutty, stone fruits. Taste - follows nose, again big caramel, quite sweet, figs and plums. Moderate bitterness. Palate - close to medium body, wet yet chewy, carbonation zing on tongue but not overdone. Overall - its a nice tasty simple clean bitter. Maybe a touch sweet for some but I liked it.

500ml bottle direct from brewery. Eye - reddish brown with small off white head, circular retention. Nose - big sweet plum note, almost raspberry like with some toasted malts in the background. Taste - jammy plums, sweet but this is balanced by a more toasted malt element. A very mild bitterness but the finish does have a nice touch of spice. Palate - light to moderate body, a little smooth, nice soft carbonation. Overall - a very flavoursome sessionable ale. It might not be complex but sometimes simplicity works.
