Hand pulled half pint at the Wrekin Inn, early on 20th February 2026. Rich golden body, no head worthy of the name. Decent enough, semi sweet and tasty.

Hazy amber gold with a tiny flotilla of bubbles as a head and just a mellow touch of ripe apples on the nose. Soft and smooth, sweetish apples with a little kick of acidity, some tartness with hints of strawberries and a dry finish

Bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Clear gold, a fair bit of white foam on top but recedes after a minute. Aroma of apple skins, light funk, white sugars. Taste is quite sweet, drying apple juice and skins, light tanginess. Very sessionable.

330ml can. Pinkish gold appearance, thin white head. Never had a strawberry mojito before, but I can detect strawberry and mint here, so I expect that's what's intended. Moderately sweet, good carbonation. Ok.
