Bottle picked up from Beer Shed, New Mills, Derbyshire consumed at home Saturday 13th September 2018 whilst cooking a proper authentic Spaghetti Carbonara with Homemade Potted Crab (starter) Pours dark gold/light amber, to be fair in this light it's tricky to be 100% it could easily have been a golden but it does taste like a bitter. Its got a light bitterness, a touch of fruit, slight dry finish. Ok. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Bottle picked up from Beer She'd, New Mills, Derbyshire consumed at home Saturday 13th September 2018 whilst cooking a proper authentic Spaghetti Carbonara with Homemade Potted Crab (starter) Pours light amber with a slight haze, the head didn't hang around for long. It's probably the first bitter that I've had for a while. Its ok, middle of the road stuff. A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1
