Cask at Loggerheads, Shrewsbury. Pours golden amber with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – just hints of citrus and malts. In the mouth it is slightly bitter with a creamy texture. Flavour has malts, citrus and floral hops with traces of biscuits and grass coming through later. Bitterness lasts into the finish. This is decent enough but somewhat bland.

Cask at Market Tavern, Stafford (not listed on Brewver). Pours golden amber with a small cream head and excellent lacing. Malts are the mainstay of the aroma alongside traces of honey and molasses. In the mouth it has a small covering of sweetness overlaying some deep seated bitter notes. Flavour is malts, autumn fruits and berries with hints of oranges coming through later. Finish is quite fruity and slightly dry. This is decent plenty of taste for such a low ABV.

Bottle at home. Pours copper with thin, persistent head. Decent bitter altogether, showing a good combination of biscuity malts and spicy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbo, easy to drink.
