Best is a well balanced session ale with a golden-amber complexion. The aroma is of banana, pineapple and sweet toffee while the palate is balanced with both a resinous and dry finish.

Clear dark gold / pale amber with a nice semi-creamy white head and a fruity malt loaf aroma. Medium bodied with a solid balance of fruit malt sweetness and floral hopped bitterness, and a semi-dry finish

16th April 2015: cask, hand-pulled pint in the lovely old Royal Oak, Cardington Shropshire. Clean golden amber pour with a full white crown. Tropical fruits in the nose, these aromas transfer into the taste along with a light malty backbone and a drying bitterness towards the finish. Decent enough, a little too dry for my palate though.

Tap @ the Royal Oak, Clee Hill, Shropshire. Pours a cloudy amber with some head. The nose has malt and honey. The taste is malt and sultanas. The palate is medium bodied and textured and reasonably clean on the finish. Overall, an easy drinking session ale.
