Flat as a witche's. Took it back to the bar and was told that's how it's supposed to be. Didn't believe it. Still don't.

Hand-pulled pint on 6th Dec 2019; The Panniers, a Wetherspoon's pub in Barnstaple. Golden body, as the name might suggest, white crown on top. Floral and citrus leanings in both the aroma and taste, light malty base, mild bitter finish.

500ml bottle conditioned, at home on 11th Jan 2019, one of the beers I had in a random tasting session with myself. Deep ruby body, beige head that hung around. Malty molasses in the aroma hint at a sweet tasting Porter with toffee and caramel leanings, and that was the case. Nice, smooth and fairly sweet brew that slipped down very easily.

500ml bottle conditioned; BB Dec 2018. Obtained from the Cheese Larder, South Molton, Devon. Drank at my brothers house on 17th July 2018. Slight haze to the dark amber body, large off-white blanket of foam for a head. Malty little number this, ably backed up with some serious hop action. Malty molasses rule the nose and overall taste, the hops adding some fruity notes a fair amount of bitterness. Liked it.
