Hand-pulled half-pint in the Railway Tavern, Newport, Shropshire on 12th July 2025. Light golden body, clean and bright, white crust that stayed around for a while. Citrus fruit aroma and taste, some pine like flavours too, semi-bitter and easy to drink on a hot afternoon.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Iced tea brown, clear with a small film of off-white head. Aroma is... ooh! Better than I expected. Grapefruit, marmalade, grassy scents. Taste is deliciously sweet and citrus laden with a bitterness coming through quickly after. Heavy tannin-like notes with soft carbonation. Really nice.

Hand-pulled half-pint in The Railway Tavern, Newport Shropshire on 23rd January 2025, while waiting for Margie to have her hair done. Dark brown with a beige head. Aroma and taste of coffee and chocolate, some Winter spice traces to add a bit of warmth, not quite rich or decedent though.

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Black pour with small beige top. This one was quite malty and somewhat rich with notes of coffee, ash and liquorice. Decent enough.

Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford (as Razzmatazz). Pours a pale straw with minimal off-white head. The aroma is basically raspberries with just a hint of malts. In the mouth it is sweet with somr tannins lurking underneath. It’s juicy and slightly sharp but with a watery texture. Flavour is raspberries and summer fruits. A little bitterness in the finish. It’s quite nice and certainly refreshing – but a bit basic.
