Hand-pulled half-pint on 3rd Oct 2016 at The Crown Inn, Oakengates. Looked good, very dark brown with a ruby hue, tanned topping. Nice malty nose and flavours: nothing too heavy or out of the ordinary, but easy to drink and flavoursome. Semi-dry finish, no real sweetness throughout.

23rd Sep 2016: cask half-pint at the Shrewsbury CAMRA beer festival. Amber body, thin and weak white topping. Supposed to be an American Pale Ale according to some ’bumph’ I’ve read. It did have a hop centric feel, both floral and bitter throughout aroma and taste wise. Different and leaning towards interesting, no idea what combination of hops were used.

Cask @ Shrewsbury Beer Festival 2016. Pours clear amber, thin white head. Slight off-putting bitter aroma that’s hard to pin down. Taste is largely bitter with a bizarre floral taste. Not sure about this.
