Hand-pulled half pint in The Crown Inn, Oakengates on 13 Nov 2012. Amber with an off-white head. Fruity aroma, with a mixed herb sort of smell as well. The beer is hoppy and fruity in the mouth with again those herbs in the background. Semi-sweet at first with a dry slightly bitter finish. Nothing special, but a decent enough beer.

GBBF. Opaque dark brown - black beer. Little tan head. Smooth dry palate. Tangy dark malts, stands out from the crowd by having well integrated mild coffee. Very subtle dark fruits. Lactose. Easy drinking.

Tawny coloured body, off-white head: this was beer number 4 (all halves) at a beerfest in The George Inn, Eccleshall (April 2012). Gravity poured straight out the barrel: some hop smells but not a lot of anything in the nose really. Nicely balanced taste, the malts blend in well with the hop content and a mixed bag of summer fruits appear in the flavour: easy to drink and although it doesnโt really test your tastebuds too greatly it is a fine bitter.

Cask, gravity at Cheltenham Town hall, Cheltenham, Glos weekend of Cheltenham Folk Festival Sat 11th Feb 2012 Golden in colour with a small white head. This is another beer that I get a rather strange flavour that I was not expecting, in this case a little frankfurter combines with this earthy, slightly hoppy reasonably bitter beer. Had two pints of this so it couldnโt have been too bad. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3
