WEST MIDLANDS BEER OF THE YEAR 2005

Tradition has it that during the visit of Queen Elizabeth I to Worcester in 1575 that Worcester acquired its second coat of arms featuring the black pears.

It is said that during her procession through the streets of Worcester the Queen saw a pear tree which had been planted in the Foregate in her honour.

She was so pleased at the appropriateness of the tree growing right in the heart of a fruit growing region, that she bade the city to add the emblem of pears to its Coat of Arms.

Half-pint, hand pulled cask ale, outside at The Plough, Worcester. Patchy surface to a bright amber coloured body, upper part lacing. Malt-fruity smell, modest. Biscuit flavours, hints of marmalade. On the sweet side of a bittersweet ending. Fair enough. (08.07.2018).
