Cask at Market Tavern, Stafford (not listed on Brewver). Pours golden amber with a small cream head and excellent lacing. Malts are the mainstay of the aroma alongside traces of honey and molasses. In the mouth it has a small covering of sweetness overlaying some deep seated bitter notes. Flavour is malts, autumn fruits and berries with hints of oranges coming through later. Finish is quite fruity and slightly dry. This is decent plenty of taste for such a low ABV.

Amber gold with a frothy / creamy white head and a citrusy, hoppy aroma. Sweet, biscuit malt with grassy hops and a touch of citrus bitterness.

Bottle at home. Pours copper with thin, persistent head. Decent bitter altogether, showing a good combination of biscuity malts and spicy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbo, easy to drink.

Beautiful ruby pour, small white head. Amazing aroma of goldings, pale, bready, caramel malts. Flavor is spicy, and hoppy, and bready. Outstanding stuff. The carb is soft the finish semi bitter with a great Golding finish .
