Keg pint at the Wrekin Inn, 15th June 2025, Fathers Day. Hazed golden body, white crust. Tropical fruit nose and taste, some pine action in there too, just a bit too citrusy for me.

330ml can via Beer52, drank at home on 14th June 2025 after the Midsummer Fayre. Hazed light golden body, white affair on top. Didn't take to this at all, found it a little sour, bitter and metallic. Almost drain poured it, but I'm too mean.

Paper wrapped 500ml bottle, a gift from a friend. Drank at home on 14th June 2025 after the Midsummer Fayre. Clean and clear golden body, white crown. Caramel aroma and taste, this is a fairly sweet golden ale, the hops not giving any great bitterness, just a bit of balance.

Hand pulled pint at the Pheasant Inn, Wellington on 14th June 2025 after the Midsummer Fayre. Clean golden body, snow white crown. Dry and hop bitter, some fruity traces but its all about the dryness.

330ml can via Beer52, can claims it's a Chocolate Porter. Drank at home on 11th June 2025. Last beer of a heavy drinking day. Near black bodied, tanned topping. Malty with a definite chocolate leaning throughout. Nice finish to the day.

33cl can via Beer52, drank at home on 11th June 2025. Dark brown body, tanned crown. Nice enough brew, malty for sure with coffee and chocolate to the fore, slightly thin for a Porter, but it's fine for the 3.8% ABV I suppose.

33cl can via Beer52, shared with Bob on 11th June 2025 at my place. Black bodied, beige crust on each pour. Ash tray with smoked ham and coffee dregs and that's just the aroma. Never smoked in my life and I struggle with Smokey beers (been to Bamberg a few times to try and cure myself, but failed each time). Scored objectively.
