A traditional beekeepers ale, pale yellow, a fruity bitter with an initial sweetness progressing to a complex dry hoppy taste based on an old nineteenth century recipe.Enville Ale is produced using 100% Maris Otter floor malted barley and top fermenting ale yeast. It is processed through an initial very rapid fermentation followed by a priming process using selected honeys which are specially processed (patent pending) and then allowed to secondary ferment before being lagered (stored at cold temperature) for a precise period of time. This process enables the brewery to produce conditioned beer with a controlled yeast count in cask - the result is a traditional cask conditioned beer in which the carbonation has been carefully controlled.

On cask at Halesowen Town Grove Bar - Pale hazy yellow body, lacing white head. Sweet nose of citrus, a bit of vanilla ice-cream there too that carries onto the taste. Sweet sugary finish. Good session ale.

Visited the brewery many years ago and often had this beer in two of the better pubs around here: it then disappeared from the said two pubs and I’d lost sight of it. Found it again on 8th June 2013 in the Greyhound, Lower Penn (near Wolverhampton). Where I had two hand-pulled pints. Lovely session ale with a semi-sweet feel to the nose and taste. Amber and clean, nicely balanced and far to easy to drink. The initial sweetness gives way to a good yet mild bitterness towards the end of each gulp but this isn’t a hoppy bitter at all.

Cask at the Bird in Hand, Wordsley. Pours a very pale yellow with a medium head. Aroma was sulphur and eggy hops. Honey sweetness to start, then sulphur then a honey finish. Not good. Was this an off pint? No one else int he pub seemed to mind. Will have to try at a different place in the future.

Cask (handpump) @ Robin Hood, DY8, Amblecote. Clear light yellow color with a small creamy, fair lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is light yeasty, fruity, toffee. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average to short duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat.

Cask gravity at Battersea Beer Festival 2006. Hazy gold, some diacetyl, quite fresh on aroma but then deadish pale malt. Some tangy fruit, followed by more butterscotch. Finish is citricly focussed. Not sure it was ready or in the best of conditions
