Cask @ Shrewsbury Real Ale Festival 2019, St Mary's Church. Pours clear amber, smooth white froth atop. Pale malt nose. Taste is malt-led. Interesting that this is the first beer made through fully automated means. Not a million mils away from standard Rowton, but pleasant nonetheless.

Cask @ The Pheasant, Wellington, Shropshire. Clear gold appearance, well-appointed white foam. Pale malt nose. Pale golden ale malt to taste, soft textures. Standard Rowton golden ale, which is fine, but no Mosaic hop characteristics present at all.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the brewery tap (Pheasant Inn, Wellington Shropshire) on 7th May 2019. Clear and bright golden body, snow white crown on top. The Mosaic hops give the beer a very bitter and dry feel from start to finish with a distinct citrus aroma and flavour. Too dry for my palate but it's a fine beer for the citrus monsters out there.

Cask @ The Tiddly, Ellerdine. Pours slowly clearing gold, white froth atop. Aroma has some mild grapefruit, citrus. Taste is hoppier than expected for Rowton, perhaps a day or two past its freshest but generally nicely rounded with moderate resin.

Hand-pulled cask pint in the brewery tap house (Pheasant Inn, Wellington) on 27th Jan 2019. 1st pint of the day. Golden bodied, white crown that lasted. Good semi-sweet malty base with a solid hop front, earthy and piney hops give a fine bitter balance to the brew; another winner from this lovely family run brewery.
