A draft cask-conditioned Pilsner-style lager brewed in the traditional way. A well balanced beer, light in colour, with an aromatic finish.

Hand-pulled pint in the lovely ’Little Pack Horse’ Bewdley on 22nd Feb 2014. Looks every inch a pilsner/lager: white head on a clear golden body. Also odourless, just like most pilsners/lagers. Grainy and leaning towards a sweetness that hides the hop content somewhat. There was a slight dryness in the finish but not really a lot going on in the mouth. Refreshing and thirst quenching but a little too much like a pilsner/lager for me. Obviously well made and different to most cask beers, glad I’ve had one: my first beer from this brewery.

Bottle shared with Loz, Jan & Charlotte Sun 23rd Oct 2011 at home. I purchased this at the Hop Pocket, Bishops Frome, Herefordshire summer 2011 Pours gold with a busy carbonation and a bubbly white head. Touch metallic in mouth and the bitterness is quite rough at times, little grassy, very gassy, some hoppy burps, its ok. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov12 3.2

On gravity at Worcester Beer Festival, 14/08/10. Golden in colour with a decent white head. Grainy, sweet malt aroma with a hint of floral hop. Flavour was also sweet, with some caramel and citrus fruit before a dryish finish. Ok.
