Special (Gold Medal Ale series) - December 2009.
Gold Medal Ales are produced monthly in recognition of some of the ’greats’ of history. This month’s story :-
December 31st 1986 the National Coal Board (N.C.B.) announced that more than two hundred colliery canaries were to be made redundant after 75 years’ ’featherful’ service. The canaries, being particularly sensitive to toxic gasses, were used to detect them underground. However, the birds were replaced by electronic gadgets which wouldn’t go ’cheep’, but would detect a wider range of dangerous gasses. We salute our feathered friends with this golden beer.
Colour: Rich Gold
Nose: Aromatic citrusy hop
Taste: A refreshing bitterness
Hops: Challenger & Cascade

Cask. A hazy golden beer with a dense off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and citrus fruits. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of toffee as well as medium notes of malt, leading to a dry and bitter finish.
