Cask-conditioned at the Beer Emporium, Bristol, 2/7/2015. Deep amber in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. A touch of toasty malts, hint of liquorice, red berry and citrus fruits, followed by a moderately bitter finish. Good stuff.

500ml bottle: BBD 1 Sep 2015, poured into a UK pint sleeve on 22 Apr 2015. Obtained from a small village shop in Myddle, Shropshire. Good looking beer, clear chestnut/mahogany body with a tanned topping. Malts lead the way in the nose and taste with a pleasant hop bittering finish. Toffee flavoured with a good fruity feel. Solid and flavoursome, the 4.6% ABV suiting it’s body depth and palate nicely.

Cask @ Doctor Duncan’s, Liverpool. Clear deeper amber colour with a small smooth head. Has some malts in aroma and taste, but it’s its smooth texture which is best enjoyed in this ale. There’s some sweetness and a low bitterness.

Hand-pulled pint in The Lych Gate, Wolverhampton on 28th Feb 2015. Trying to be a cask lager/pilsner? Light golden body with a fading white head. Not a lot going on in the aroma or flavour stakes for me. Leaning towards bland in fact. Refreshing enough but not flavoursome or interesting.

Cask, hand-pulled pint in The Pheasant Inn, Wellington Shropshire on 19th Jan 2015. Deep ruby red body with a beige head. Malty and heavy nose with a similar taste, fruity and slightly spiced. Some liquorice notes within the flavours too. I enjoyed it.

Cask half-pint on 6th Nov 2014 at the Shrewsbury CAMRA Beer Festival. Slight haze to the golden hued body, a good white crown that gave off some heavy lacing. Hop laden brew, floral and piney, with a dry bittering finish. Supposed to be an American Style IPA, what ever that means. I thought it OK.
