Bottle from Archer Road Beer Stop, Sheffield. Pale gold. White, broken head. Peachy, zesty, marmalade aroma. Maltiness peeks through. There’s an initial jammy, sweetness on first taste, before a zesty, citric pithiness comes in. The light maltiness balances everything up. Very nice beer.

Cask at the Duke William during the RateBeer Black Country Bus Bash. Pours clear gold with a light, white cream head. Tangy, almost sour citrus and hay aroma. Light sweet flavor with some odd smoke notes, mild tang, dirty hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Bitter dirty hay finish, moderately sweet, with tangy orange. Meh.

Hand-pulled half-pint in the excellent Duke William, Stourbridge on 6th July during the RB Black Country Beer Trip. Old gold/light amber body, beige head that tried to stay but failed. Malty molasses rule the nose and taste: caramel and toffee notes, just about held in check by a subtle hop presence that gives a satisfying semi-dry and bitter finish. Body depth fine and in keeping with it’s alcohol strength: a good beer.

Cask at the Craven Arms, Birmingham. Poured a clear chesnut brown with a bubbly white head. The aroma is malty, but a little weak. The flavour is medium to strong bitter, malty and with an aromatic hoppiness on the palate. The bitterness was a bit of a shock with the first mouthful, but it grew on me the more I drank.
