Cask taster. Thornbridge. Because I’m not paying a penny for something with SMODs name attached to it. Clear amber. Slim white head. Nose has caramel. Vinous notes. Light toasty grain. Cake mix. Taste is semi sweet with some fruity nutty bitterness. Feels a tad thin. Has a light sourness throughout. Dry-ish finish.

Can. Mitchell’s Wines. Dirty gold. Thick of white swede. Decent peachy citrusy notes offset by an oxidative thing. Taste is suspiciously sweet. Nah. Bollocks. Smells like apples.

Can picked up at the brewery. Nice stone fruit with a Sabro pudding like vibe. Some sweetness tempered by a pithy bitterness throughout. Decent easy drinker.
