Bottle direct from the brewer, and another golden ale to boot! Pours gold, thin head, no retention. Aroma of biscuit malts, mild spice, a zesty fruitiness. Taste is is hoppy fruit notes, biscuit malts, a little spice, nice bitterness in the finish. A good moderate body considering the ABV, moderate carbonation. Another good gold from Bewdley, probably one of their better ones as well due to the body and a good hoppy bitterness.

Bottle direct from the brewer. Pours black, brief small beige head with plenty of fizz, no retention; not great Aroma of roasted malts, smoke, chocolate, dark fruits; very promising Initial taste was almost all burnt malts. I had left the bottle out the fridge for 30 minutes but wasn't enough. Came back to this 30 mins later and taste was roasted malts, smokiness, chocolate and a little blackberry in the finish with a moderate bitterness, the smokiness coming through again at the end; wonderfully complex flavours Body is a little watery and so doesn't compliment such flavours and is frustrating although I appreciate its a 4.3 ABV. Low carbonation is fine. Overall a very flavoursome and complex stout. Great brewing again by Bewdley, consistently good.

Bottle from brewery. Pours gold, small white head with good retention. Curtailed citra hop aroma without the cats piss. Taste is light, lemon and lime citrus notes, grass, mild flora, mineral. Light bitterness in the finish. Light citrusy beer being an alternative to lager on a sunny day. Not bad for what it is.

500ml bottle from the brewer. Pours gold, thin head, some retention and quite fizzy in appearance. Aroma of a light chocolate orange. Taste is quite sweet, with biscuit malts, zesty orange, a hint of chocolate, a little dry. Nice bitterness in the finish to balance this brew. Lightish body, nice carbonation. Not the most exciting beer but its another well made one from Bewdley. Quite enjoyable

Bottle direct from the brewer. Pours clear gold, small white head, good retention. Big hoppy citrus and fruity aroma, inviting. Taste is biscuit malts, orange, grapefruit, berries, moderate bitterness in the finish. Light to moderate body and moderate carbonation which works well with this 4.2% gold. A very good fruity golden ale.

Bottle, also direct from the brewery. Pours clear dark gold, minor head, some circular retention. Aroma of lightly toasted malt, caramel, some fruity hops. Taste is sweet biscuit malts, a sharp citrus lemon, stewed starchy veg, a moderate bitterness and citrus in the finish. Moderate body and softish carbonation works well here. This is a good session bitter, enjoyable.
