Shropshire lad is from the Wood brewery in Wistanstow Shropshire.woodbrewery.co.uk.This is what it says on the bottle”Well rounded malt flavour,sweetish overtones followed by a subtle bitterness and fruity notes from the infusion of traditional hops,from the neighbouring hop fields of Herefordshire and Worcestershire”.Another beer from Morrisons at just £1.25.
First brewed in 1996 to celebrate the centenary of the first publication of a Shropshire lad by A E Housman.
The beer poured a dark amber colour which cleared to a nice foamy white head.Aroma of caramel but not overpowering.The ale was smooth on the palette with a malty and hint of chocolate flavour,slightly citrus due to the hops used.At 4.5% it could be drunk as a session bitter but on this occasion only one bottle was consumed. Overall a nice beer,that I will be having again, 4/5.
Enjoying a pint of great beer
