Cask at the Willow Walk, 11/04/14, JDW Spring 2014 Fest Beer #24 - as Woods Beauty. Clear golden with a moderately appointed light beige swirl cleatring to edgework. Nose is biscuit, fruit tones, light orchard tones, caramel. Taste comprises caramel, green apple, biscuit malt, mellow fruit. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, light bitterness in the close. Ok bitter - on the whelming side as my scoring suggests!

Cask @ The Boathouse, Shrewsbury. One of the best Woods offerings I’ve had thus far. Pours a glowing amber with vibrant fruity notes and sweet malts. Enjoyable.

Tried this again @ The Old Hand & Diamond, Coedway, a pub that always looks after their beer well / serves nice and cool, from a fresh barrel with my Belgian father-in-law. Frankly I was embarrassed to have bought him this as an example of local beer. In his words it looked and tasted like it had been left on the side for 5 days and I couldn’t really argue.. dead, unmoving with no lacing & cruel, fleeting glimpses of hops. Being served this kind of stuff in my local is the reason I drank cider in my early drinking years, until I visited Belgium and had my mind blown. Here I am, full circle, 15 years later and it’s still here. Cask @ The Armoury, Shrewsbury. According to the pumpclip this has been voted the Best Bitter In England! Well, it’s not. Served luke-warm for a start with a distinctly average hop character and boring mellow sweetness. Yawn.
