Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Mostly clear gold with foamy small top. This one had a sharp tang with notes of lime and apricot and quite a drying finish. Not quite balanced or that tasty unfortunately.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the Post Office Vaults on 8th November 2024. Light amber body, clean and clear, off-white crown. UK style Pale Ale with no citrus influence, semi-bitter, semi-sweet, slightly disappointed it wasn't a bit more 'special' as it's an anniversary brew.

Hand-pulled pint at the Crown Inn, Oakengates on 20th August 2024. Clean and clear golden body, decent white head that lasted a while. Hop forward without being too bitter, no citrus notes (very 1963ish), just a twiggy earthiness with a light malty balance. Easy drinking brew.
