[50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring.] A hazy straw coloured pour with a fading white head; yeasty aroma; sour grainy taste with yeast and a little citrus; and a light pithy citrus finish. A refreshing summer beer.

500ml bottle: BBE Feb 2021. Drank on 13th Oct 2020 at the Cotswold Foodstore and Cafe (on the A424, middle of nowhere!). Slight haze to the pour, dull gold in colour, off white head. Decent enough blend, orchard fruits and mild malty notes in both the nose and taste, a bit 'home brew' in places if I'm honest.

500ml bottle @ 4.7%. Black with small beige head, nice circular retention and some lacing. Roasted malts, coffee and chocolate aroma. Taste is the same but at session strength, quite sweet, moderately-smooth and average carbonation. Bitter coffee bean finish. Quite nice, not an overly complex stout but well made.

Bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Cloudy gold, small white head, some retention and lacing. Aroma is hops, light malt, grass, a little citrus. Taste is the same, a bit bland but pleasant enough with a grassy lager note to it although the finish is more that of a sweet blonde. Light body, moderate carbonation. A bit dull and not as good as their Gold and Bitter brews. Having said that its not unpleasant.

500ml bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Hazy dark gold, medium frothy head, good retention. Sweet apricot and caramel malt aroma with a hint of tangerine. Taste is stewed apricots and caramel malts, hoppy. A bit starchy as per the previous review. Moderate body and carbonation which works well with the ABV. A good bitterness runs throughout including a dry finish. Overall, another good beer from Friday.

Bottle at 4.7% that my lovely wife bought me at the Bicester Garden Centre - very pleased to get given an all-too-rare Worcestershire rate! It's an opaque dark brown beer with a beige head and a slightly too aggressive fizz. There's lots of chocolate, liquorice, a mild roastiness and a touch of creamy coffee, with a dryish finish. It's a pretty pleasant stout, although I'm personally never a fan of liquorice.
