Bottle from Morrisons, Todmorden. Golden with a bubbly-frothy head. Easy-drinking ale, sessionable, although not a very stated ’pale ale’ - it’s just a name on the label!

From old tasting notes. Amber orange color topped by a foamy beige head. Soft malty nose hints at oatmeal. Crisp, toasted malt flavor. Notes of juniper berries and peppercorns. Nicely balanced with a smoothness that carries through.

From old tasting notes. Reddish brown color topped by a bubbly tan head. Interesting fruity malt nose hints at yeast and dried fruit. Zesty roasted malt flavor hints at licorice and smoke. Nice balance and complexity. Chewy malt finish.

Cask at the Woolpack - I believe that this is a pale mild and it certainly has a level of sweetness that you would associate with the type. No real hops, just quite an overpowering sweetness that I didn’t enjoy. Creamy mouthfeel, but I think that was due to the tap.

Cask in a pub - Some bitter hops, smooth malt and a very slight fruityness to what is actually quite a sweet beer. There was a creamy mouthfeel, but I think that was due to the sparkler on the tap. It’s completely inoffensive standard bitter, but has no real interest or flavour for that matter

From old tasting notes. Crisp, clear Amber orange color with a big creamy beige head. Spicy cloverleaf with a hint of sweet toasted malt. Subtle semi-sweet toasted malt flavor upfront. Mildly tart midtaste. Smooth spicy hoppy character punctuates the finish. Tangy bitter aftertaste. Well rounded with nice balance.

I would describe this as a strong golden ale. Good flavours of malt and bitter hops and a kick of alcohol give a a nice mouth feel. I would drink this again well chilled while sitting in the garden. Overall a reasonable pint.

An acceptable beer that needs to be well chilled and enjoyed in the sun. However, there was a pronounced sweetness and a taste of corn that, for me, was verging on the unpleasant. This seems to have changed from when I drank it before.......

Handpull cask at the George IV, Sawbridgeworth. Ruddy golden with a light creamy head. Sulphur is noticeable in the aroma but there’s also praline, butter rum, orange peel. Taste is standard malty bittersweet with light clove and buttered toast notes. More bitter/astringent in the finish but there’s a moreish bready sweetness in the aftertaste. A really well-made best bitter. I could drink a few pints of this.
