Cask @ Real Ale Tavern, Bewdley. Pours pale gold, small white head. Floral bitter nose. Taste is a bit watery, thin, bitter, dry fruit. Not a lot going for it really, I'd echo blackhaddock's rating below.

Hand-pulled half in The Station, Oakengates on 3 Oct 2013: Golden with a white head, some lacing. Hops first, malt undertone, pleasant without being special. One of those beers that you forget about really, nothing wrong with it, just a bit ’run of the mill’ in every aspect.

Darker golden ale with a creamy head. Mild but pleasant in its character with a refreshing texture and fruits in its aroma and taste with a grainy undercurrent.
