Cask at The Red Lion, Pembridge, Herefordshire. Pours clear golden with a cream cap. Aroma: pale malts, light citrus, caramel, straw. Taste: light to moderate sweet & bitter, semi dry, light pale malts with hints of citrussy hops on the finish. Medium body with soft carbonation. Hundreds of golden ales like this one which didn't stand out

Clear dark gold / pale amber with a nice semi-creamy white head and a fruity malt loaf aroma. Medium bodied with a solid balance of fruit malt sweetness and floral hopped bitterness, and a semi-dry finish

330ml can (part of the Derailed arm of Ludlow Brewing Co): BBE Apr 2022. Obtained from Anthony's of Wellington, Shropshire. Drank at home on 11th Aug 2021. Clear golden body, decent white topping, looked good in my old Hoegaarden Grand Cry tulip glass. Hoppy/piney nose, hop bitter taste. Light citrus esters and flavours arrived as the beer warmed, the bitterness remained. The Idaho 7 hops are not from Idaho, but in fact from a local farm in Herefordshire!

Keg @ Ludlow Brewery after a ride at Mortimer Forest nearby searching out new trails. Misty gold appearance, small white head. Light tropical nose, taste seems mildly sweet, soft tropical hints, oily palate. Decent overall, but comes across a little like a hoppy golden ale rather than a crisp cutting pale ale / IPA.

A beautifully clear straw colour, with a bubbly white head, and a touch of sweet malt, hay and citrus on the nose. The mouthfeel is crisp and fresh, there’s an initial almost spicy hop bitterness with a sweetish bread flavour coming through, some floral notes with citrus and honey there too, before a dry and slightly bitter finish

Cask pint @ The White Horse Inn, Pulverbatch after a muddy evening night ride in the Shropshire hills. Tasting much better on cask, nice nutty malty red ale sweetness. Very nice. Uprate. July 28th 2020: 330ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, July 20. Many thanks Mark for bringing this. Clear amber appearance, off white head. Malty leafy caramel nose. Taste seems extremely hoppy for a red ale, prominent pine with a good spiced caramel base. Promising initial release from Ludlow's new side project.
