Cask at the King’s Head, Bridgnorth. Mid-gold with a tight white head. Pixy Stix aroma with a hint of coriander and a bit of sulphur. Taste feels more focused: sweet with a decidedly bitter edge. Chalky mouthfeel. Bittersweet finish. What’s the surprise? Seems like a fairly standard beer to me, albeit a well-executed one.

Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a bubbly white head. The aroma is citrus, woody resin hop, The flavour is moderate bitter with a light yeast, malt hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation. A superb session ale.

At the brewpub, Sedgley 22/11/2014. Golden with a slight, white, head. Easy drinking beer, with a hint if citrus fruit, crisp malts and decent, bitter finish. Fine.
