Hand pulled pint at the Wrekin Inn, on 30th November 2024. White crown on a clean and clear light golden body. Hop forward with a citrus leaning, grapefruit to the fore, some piney resinous hints mid-sip.

22/11/2024. Cask at The Dove Street Inn Winter Beer Festival, Ipswich. Pours very slightly hazy golden with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is hoppy, flowery, sweet malts, citrus, grassy, touch herby. Medium sweetness, light to moderate bitterness and body. Watery, low carbonation. It’s okay.

Nice brown colour with thin head. Really good level of smokiness. Woody, beechy, slightly meaty. Slightly too thin perhaps.
