And we haven’t lost our touch for beer either.

Hand-pulled pint on 23rd January 2025. Railway Tavern, Newport Shropshire, while waiting for Margie and her hair do! Lovely looking beer, clean and clear golden amber body, snow white crown that stayed around. This is just a pleasant blend of bittering hops and semi-sweet malts, the hops winning the battle aroma and taste wise.

Easy texture easy hoppy taste for this good looking clear golden at a Manchester Wetherspoon. The palate agrees

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Clear gold, small white head, good lacing. Taste of toasted grain, stone fruits, light medicinal to pine. Medium bodied, drying mouthfeel. All a bit average.

A penultimate beer in a local micropub for 2024. Has a fairly dominant pale ale texture and taste with its cherry sort of invading. It's evident enough and a tad bready here.

Cask @ Barum Top Inn, Halifax. Dark ale with a light head. Dark malty, never really reaching stout heights despite this label. Good but blandish.

Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham on 13th December 2024. Golden amber with shallow white foam and partial lacing. Sweet malty aroma. Sweet,overripe fruits in-mouth with a sharp TCP line, lasting into a sharply pungent finish. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Odd.
