Cask at Pickled Pig, Stafford (not listed in Brewver). Pours classic โbitter brownโ with a small scummy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is basically hops and malts with just a trace of butter. In the mouth it fluctuates between bitter and sweet. Flavour has traditional hops, caramel and malts with hints of ginger and spice. Finish is slightly dry and leaning more towards bitterness. This is a decent standard bitter.

Handpull cask at the Midland, Bearwood, Birmingham. Brownish red, clear with a small off-white head offering a lot of lacing. Fresh malty aroma, slightly spicy. Taste is intense from the Rye, not too sweet with notes of red berry. Notes of white pepper in the long finish. I think the low rates are a bit unfair. This is a pretty good beer.

Keg draught at the Plough, Harborne, Birmingham. Very light yellow gold, a little bit of haze, some loose white head. Light aroma, some citrus hop, some energy drink. Sweet taste, a little hoppy, some bitterness on the finish. Watery body, medium carbonation. Sounds like I am damning with faint praise but for a low alcohol beer it's quite good. And welcome for midday.

440ml can from the brewery taproom. Poured a clear dark amber colour with a short-lived, frothy white head. The aroma is sugary malt. The flavour is moderate to light sweet, light bitter, with a smooth, earthy, light herbal, nutty, toffee caramel palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Not a mild in my book, but very tasty and a fitting tribute.

Cask at Head of Steam, Birmingham. Crystal clear light gold with smooth white top. This one had tangy stone fruit, lychee, minerals. Light to medium bodied, slick, semi-drying. Easy drinking but didn't stand out.

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Hazy yellow-straw pour with white top. It's light and refreshing with a lemon, passionfruit, mineral and light pine. Light to mid-bodied with fine carbonation. It's ok if a bit forgettable.
