Cask at the Walsall Beer Festival 2013. Poured a crystal clear yellow straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is of caramel and butter. The flavour is weak bitter and malty with a creamy caramel palate. A super ale from Beowulf. Perfect for a session and great for any season too.

First beer from this brewery for me, so no preconceptions (except expecting it to be a spring ale!) - appearance was very good, nice tight head on a golden / brown beer; aroma loses points because there was something not identifiable in it, not overly unpleasant but still detracted a little. At the end of the day though, for me it’s all about taste and this hit the spot, perhaps a little under-hopped for my preference but doubtless exactly what the brewer was after. Can imagine downing several of these without any trouble at all
