Bottle - Sweet pale malts and a bit of citrus. Hazy gold with a thin white head. Effervescent bitter bite and some earthy peat like flavors. I quite like the earthy notes.

500ml bottle from Ludlow Spring Festival May 14, drunk on the train after an intense couple of hours in Brewdog. This just about finished me off. Mild floral hops, citrus and a soft bitterness. Decent pale.

Cask, handpump at The Tram, Eardisley, Herefordshire, Tuesday 31st December 2013 (New Years Eve) Golden in colour with a white head. There is a light citrus fruitiness to this beer but the malt threatens to envelop all, I think a little more hops and a tweak here and there with the malts this could be better, as it is, it’s fine. Sweetish easy drinking golden bitter with a slight bitter edge, I had two pints so it can’t have been too bad I guess. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.1

Half-pint, hand-pulled in The Crown Inn, Oakengates on 6th Dec 13. Almost clear golden colour (the wheat malt stopped it being crystal clear I suppose) with a good white covering that held well. Not a lot going on aroma wise: mild hop and fruit esters, but you had to dig for them. The taste was a pleasant blend of Pale Malts and semi-bitter hops, couldn’t find any wheat flavours. Pleased to have tried it: OK, but not really exciting, just a run-of-the-mill Pale Ale.

Gravity cask @ Ludlow Food Festival. Lots of bold hops here with a good turnout from the citrus contingent. Quite refreshing. This should definitely be in more Shropshire real ale pubs, no doubt about that.

5.9% ABV cask: hand-pulled pint in The Cock Hotel, Wellington, Shropshire on 21 June 2013. Yellow/golden body, bright and clear, on top a pure white head of small bubbles. Sadly it had the citrus nose and feel I dislike about so many beers currently brewed in the UK. Only mild in it’s grapefruit and lemon flavours and aroma it still put me off. Strong enough to hide the alcohol, but not completely overpowering in it’s citrus base to allow some maltiness notes to almost appear and try to balance the brew out. Looking and tasting passed that citrus ’problem’ it is a well produced beer and refreshing, just not what I wanted.
