Hand-pulled half-pint in Reddish Ales, Stockport on 4th September 2024. Amber body, clean and clear, white crown. Decent enough Bitter, with a light caramel malty sweetness in the background, the hop content trying to keep it contained.

5.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Cask @ North Westward Ho, Manchester. Mildly hazed yellow-blonde with a creamy-frothy head. Blandish hoppy brew, although some fruitiness is evident in its dry texture and taste.

Transatlantic Continuous IPA from RedWillow Brewery
2 years ago
8.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Caps and Taps. Labelled as “Continuous IPA” now it seems. Same description, same ABV. Pours clear honey-gold with a moderate, foamy white head. Medium sweet flavour with gooey pine, semi-ripe citrus, nips of toasted malts, caramel, rind. Medium bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Well balanced finish, further piney resin, ripening citrus. Great throwback gear. Loved it.

Dubbel Mild 2024 from RedWillow Brewery

7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Can (8.4% ABV) from The Beerhive. Hazy deep amber body with a thin beige head that slowly fades. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of cigar, toffee and raisin. Flavour of salted caramel and a slightly boozy finish. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. This has a rich, interesting flavour even if it is a bit gnarly and boozy.
