Cask pint in The Shrewsbury Hotel (Spoons) on 15th Dec 2016. Golden body, smooth white crown. Malty front, yet the taste is fairly bitter: mixed bag of over-ripe fruits in the flavour. Liked it.

330ml can @ Chez Sophie. Pours a misty amber, good white head. Aroma of caramel malt and brisk earthy hop. Taste is sturdy caramel with a sharp hop bitterness. It does seem that this is an IPA in the original sense, full of English hop character and a solid malt backbone. Very decent.

Cask @ Cottage Loaf, Llandudno. Clear but very dark brown with a thin off-white head. Has a good smoothness to it with dark malts providing plenty of taste, and a decent aroma.

Bottle from Bargain Booze, Mold. Dark reddish-brown with next to no head. Fruity and very sweet in its nose, with this sweetness carrying through to its taste, clearly with a strength. There’s a few dark malts to enjoy here. Has a very mild fizz in the palate.
