A premium beer, golden in colour with a combination of hops giving a pleasant bitter finish.
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.

Cask at the Black Eagle, Birmingham. Poured a clear medium amber with a broken white head and a little broken lace. The aroma is fruity but somewhat weak. The flavour is medium bitter, malty and with a nice hoppy bitterness on the palate which lingers into the aftertaste. A perfect session ale.

6th August 2008. On tap at GBBF. Clear golden beer. Soft hops - fruity - does have a pear tone in the soft dry finish. Pleasant and a little different.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Golden color, not much head. Barnyardish, woody aroma .. ugh. Sweet pear fruity flavor with late woody bitterness. Odd.
