Looking forward to baron rating Stringers Yellow Lorry

I'm a massive fan of Stringer Brewery, I love their beers, I love their branding, I love the fact that it's just Jon & Becky bashing out top quality beer in Ulverston. They don't know how to brew a bad beer, or maybe they do and that's how come they brew such lovely ones... Anyway they popped by the other day whilst they were on their way to CAMRA's Liverpool Beer Festival 2014, and very kindly dropped me off Yellow Lorry for review:

Red lorry, yellow lorry, red lorry, yellow...

Stringer Brewery

Yellow Lorry - 4% pale ale, brewed with pale, crystal & wheat malts, hopped with Cascade, Summit, Galena & Centennial. Suggested food matches are firm sharp English cheese, burgers, curries & carrot cake(!)

Thank you to Jon & Becky (@StringersBeer) from Stringers for handing this over for a baron rating!
