A golden beer that is brewed using local Staffordshire honey. The sweet taste is balanced by an abundance of hops to give a spicy hoppy aroma.

Cask @ Ye Cracke, Liverpool 040112
Straw, clear, thin white head
Aroma of soft sweet pale fruits, faint aroma
Taste of pale malts, touch of honey, soft cereals, not impressive at first but does get better, hint of vanilla
Palate - Thin body, bit oily, some soft bitterness. Finish as main flavour, little dry, touch of honey cereal in linger
Overall - Came across as very average to me

Clear gold beer. Little white head. Semi crisp and semi dry palate. Soft malt with a tiny bit of honey sweetness. Watery orange hop before a dry finish. Standard stuff!

Brown 500ml bottle, best before 31 Dec 2011, poured into a UK pint sleeve on 27 Jun 2011. Crystal and Halcyon malts with local honey give the beer a true golden hue. On top an off-white foaming head sits proudly. Challenger, WGV and Cascade hops give the beer a hoppy aroma, mini spice esters from them also, no honey smells though. Tangy and crisp, mildly sweet, but those aforementioned hops ensure there is a hop bite from the start and a bitterness as the mouth dries. The hops were not just for the aromas they provide, that is obvious in the flavours as you savour this fine brew. Could have had more depth of body, but it is supposed to be a fairly light summer beer, so I can forgive them for that. Overall, an easy beer to drink and on cask I suspect a delight.

500ml bottle. Pours dark gold with a thin head. Aroma is sweet grass. Taste is a bit sweet and a bit grassy. Some honey in the aftertaste. A bit boring.

[Cask at the Figure of Eight JDW, Birmingham.] Amber with a thin dense cream head leaving good lacing - clover honey aroma - smooth, milky and slightly sour, then dry with chewy malts - dry biscuit finish, some sweetness, but no sign of any honey.
