The fourth and final 500ml bottle from this brewery that I bought in Bernie's Real Ale Off-Licence (Shirley, Brum). It's also my 12,000th rating on RB. Drank at home on 5th August 2021, poured into an old vase shaped pint glass (Old Speckled Hen, badged). Clean and bright golden body, wispy white head. Sadly this is the poorest of their four beers that I've tried in my opinion. Just lacks body and oomph, there is a light malty nose, with a semi-bitter taste; highly carbonated it's making me burp!

500ml bottle: BB Mar 2022. Drank in the afternoon sun on my patio, 25th July 2021. Clean and clear body, light golden in colour, decent white head on top. Really enjoyed this hoppy little number, mostly because there was no hint of tropical fruits or citrus flavours. Good 'old fashioned' piney and hoppy hops in this fine brew.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours a golden orange with a small scummy white head, but good lacing. It has a flowery aroma with berry fruits and biscuits. I the mouth the initial impression is sweet but slightly hoppy. There are berry fruits and apples and later on some tangerines start coming through. Beer has an apt name – this is a pretty decent summer swigger.

500ml bottle from Bernie's Real Ale (Shirley, Brum); BB Apr 2022. Drank at home late on 28th Apr 2021. Clear, light amber body, thin white wispy head. Fruity little number, orchard fruits more than tropical or citrusy. It's very drinkable.

500ml bottle from Bernie's Real Ale (Shirley, Brum): BB Mar 2022. Drank at home on 23rd Apr 2021. Local beer for local people according to the label, well I live about an hours drive from Bromsgrove, not too sure I'm a local. Anyway this is a lovely IPA in all aspects apart from the head disappearing too quickly. Clear and clean orange/amber body, white topping for a short while. Fruity and hoppy with a semi-sweetness throughout, really enjoyed it. My first beer from these guys.
