Cask at the Three Fishes, Shrewsbury - pours a clear amber colour with a small off white head that quickly disappeared. Aroma is caramel malt and a similar caramel malt taste. A mild bitterness in the finish. Average in every respect.

Half @ The Vaults, Shrewsbury. Pours a lightly misty gold, small bubbly topping. Aroma of good fleshy fruit. Taste presents a good fleshy fruit character, lots of pure apple juice with minimal tannin. Drinks like pure apple juice. Good fresh balanced cider. Very good.

Cask @ The Three Fishes, Shrewsbury. Pours very pale gold, white head. Aroma is of a citrus persuasion, continuing to taste, drying and zesty with hints of kiwi fruit and a reassuring bitterness. Good sessionable blonde.

Cask half-pint in The Station, Oakengates Shropshire on 6th Apr 2017. Very pale blonde with a full white crown, slight haze to the pour. Citrus notes in both the nose and taste with pine and light ginger traces also in the aroma and flavour. Thought it ’strange’ to be honest.

Cask @ Coach & Horses, Shrewsbury. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma is light chocolate, smooth dark malts. Quite light on the palate with mild chocolate, dark malts and very faint mirage like coffee on the finish. No detectable vanilla, and very little coffee to speak of, but it’s a pleasant smooth chocolate porter.

Cask pint on 5th Dec 2016: Three Fishes, Shrewsbury. Very pale blonde with a decent and lasting white head. Tropical fruit esters rule the nose, the taste is also fruity and hoppy in nature. I immediately though ’Simcoe’ hops: then I remembered the brewer is from New Zealand, so he might have used something I have never heard of hop wise. Anyway it was a pleasant, easy drinking pint and I enjoyed it.

Cask half-pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates Shropshire on 10th Nov 2016. Hazy creamy lemon coloured pour: watery and citrusy, spicy and lemony: sorry, didn’t like it at all. A big pity because I usually enjoy beers from Stonehouse and the brewer seems a decent bloke. Scored as highly as I could.

Bottle at home. Bought in Oswestry by the parents. Looks to have been renamed - ’Kingston Flyer’ does not appear on the label. Very feint sweet floral aroma. Frothy but blotchy white head. A hazy amber. Light to medium bitter (more than previous ratings suggested). Light bodied, with a real fizz from the carbonation. Dry finish. I can see why raters have described it as more of a golden ale, but the hops are there. I like it, perhaps best described as ’subdued’.
