Complex Ruby Ale - Available in December. This Christmas, put down the sherry and pour yourself a glass of Blitzen instead. This cheeky little festive number is made with cascade and goldings hops, orange and mixed peels. A real winter warmer, apart from good friends and family.

Cask at the Railwaymans Arms, Bridgnorth. Poured a clear dark brown with a frothy white head. The aroma is roasty malt, red berry fruit, dry smoky hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a dry watery, fruity liquorice hop bitter palate and a lingering dry bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask. Old Crown, Handsworth, Sheffield. Clear, deep amber colour. Thick and creamy, cream coloured head. Got to love a swan neck and a sparkler. Nose has plenty of the mixed peel. Some cake fruits. Some hop spice. Taste is fruity sweet. Some vine fruits. Light body. Smooth as you like (than swan neck and sparkler has kicked the shit out of this). Dry, fruity finish. For a beer with a flashing light pump clip, it’s not too bad.

On cask at the Teesdale Hotel in Middleton. Appearance - deep amber to chestnut with a nice head. Nose - sweet malt and gentle dark fruits. Taste - more of the same maybe even getting into raisins. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - a decent winter bitter.
