Cask at Pretty Bricks, Walsall. Pours golden brown with a medium sized foamy almost white head and excellent lacing. Is slow to settle but does so eventually. Autumn fruits to the fore in the aroma plus some hoppy hints. In the mouth it starts off sweet but fairly soon becomes bitter with traditional hops increasing in strength till they dominate. A bit watery and no other strong flavours – just hints of caramel and malts. Finish is quite dry. It’s quite decent really.

Hand-pulled pint in the Railway Tavern, Newport (Shropshire) on 23rd November 2023. Light golden body, clean and clear, white crown on top. Mild citrus aroma and initial taste, malts come out the play mid-sip, drying finish. Not very exciting.
