Rhythm 'n' Brews festival at The New Inn, Newport, Shropshire on 20th July 2019. Cask, hand-pulled half-pint. Very clear for a wheat beer, golden bodied, white crown. Easy drinking brew with a decent blend of hop bitterness and wheat sweetness.

Cask at the Kings Head Leicester. Middle of the road gold and flat with the tiniest ring of white head. Floral and malty scent with traces of butterscotch, hay and demerara sugar. Tastes bittersweet, there's some discernable hop but it's a bit sulphurous for my liking. Finishes more bitter. Not the best golden in the world.
