500ml bottle. Black with thin beige head. Chocolate, dried fruit, light berries, light roasted malts, mild bitterness, semi-sweet. Moderate body with a very low carbonation. A bit non-descript although there is nothing bad here. Its ok.

500ml bottle with the BSA standing for Birmingham Small Arms Ltd so I like the double take. Pours a deep gold, thin head, low carbonation in appearance. Aroma is malty, nuts and overripe pears with a hint of booze. Taste is malty, resinous, grass and a jammy tang, modest bitterness in the finish. Body has a smooth light honeyed texture and a low near flat carbonation, which although could be better is ok due to the body. Quite enjoyable.

500ml bottle direct from brewery. Clear gold-light brown pour, thin head, no visible carbonation. Aroma is malts, floral and citrus. Fears are confirmed as this beer is flat, no carbonation at all. Another poor attempt at bottle conditioning. If I had known I would have waited for an opportunity to visit the Gun Makers Arms before trying these beers. Flavours are nice through, malts, peach, citrus, some light fruity grapefruit.

500ml bottle direct from brewery. Pours clear brown, thin head on pour but strangely improves over time with a consistent carbonation. Aroma is caramel malts, raisons, a little grassy. Taste has the same notes, a little nutty, semi-sweet, with a hint of citrus and a nice moderate bitterness. Good body and unlike the last beer, the carbonation is spot on. I like this one, the bottle conditioning is much better.

500ml bottle. Gold with thin head, minimal retention. Aroma is like a radler, lemon and lime cordial with a hint of ginger beer; not unpleasant but a bit artificial. The first thing I noticed is the light body with a low carbonation; it just tasted flat for a light beer. Taste is like a basic golden ale with a lemon, lime, and mild ginger cordial adjunct added. Minimal bitterness. At its best I can image this being quite a refreshing brew but mine was quite poor.

500ml bottle direct from the brewery. Gold, decent white head, average retention. No massive aromas but there is a mild citrus and floral/herb note. Taste is a little more pronounced with biscuit malts and quite floral and peachy hops balanced by a decent level of bitterness. Not a bad body for a 4.3%. Traditional golden ale and certainly not an IPA in the modern context. Personally would like more finishing hops to add more flavour. Not bad, would be interesting to try this on cask one day.

Third, cask ale shared with Finn at the brewpub. Filmy layer, warm golden body, near-clear. Fair lacing. Ripe fruity smell, slightly spiced. Notes of lemony hops to the taste buds added by bread-like malts and a spicy touch. Spiced fruity endnotes. So and so. (Birmingham 03.02.2020).
