Fun little number with big first move
|
||||||
V1 | FA Traditional Ale - with Nick Hanson, ElliotShirleyyy | 3m | ||||

V8 | ★★ Strongarm Bitter - with Nick Hanson, ElliotShirleyyy | 5m | ★★★ Classic | |||
Very good new line just right of premium lager. Starting sequence is shouldery and fun into a burtal mid height sequence. Not dabbing is a challenge but doesn't take anything away from the quality.

Maybe nothing to write home about but still somewhat classic? Hard first move, from a mono and a sharp pocket. Doesn't happen often enough, or maybe just the right amount of times, have not made up my mind just yet. It's what nightmares are made of but climbs just as good as it looks. Definitely worth getting on!
