Popped into Reading yesterday (Friday) afternoon to pick up some bits and pieces and since the sun was well over the yardarm I took a detour up the Oxford road to the Nags Head for a cheeky pint. Fortunately for me they had some Verdant beers on and I tried this cask pale ale called "Penpol" (after the village in Cornwall with the same name) it's their take on a classic traditional hop bitter pale and it was a banger. Citrus back notes, bitter finish and long, great depth of flavour for a 3.8% beer. This was the first Verdant beer on cask I've ever tried and could have drunk it all night, but unfortunately, I had to get the train home and put a curry on, still, there are worse things on a Friday evening.
