Danke an minutemat. Dunkler, trocken röstiger Beginn, schwacher Hintergrund. Geringfügig nach Schokolade, wässrig herb, mit der Zeit weich bitter werdend. Die Röstigkeit nimmt ab, kurzer Abgang. Okay. 9/9/8/8/9/8

500ml bottle from Appleyards. Thanks Appleyards. Pours clear gold, small receding white head. Aroma is lightly fruity. Taste is a little spicy, gently fruity, malty with a soft bitterness, light carbonation, medium bodied. Not Bewdleys best but serviceable.

EU local swap 1/20, danke an minutemat. Angenehmer klarer Beginn von Röstmalz, leichter Herbe und minimaler Süße. Schokoladenaromen im Mittelteil, die Röstigkeit bleibt stark, hinzu kommt eine geringe Hopfigkeit. Voluminös malziger Abgang, trocken herb. 10/12/12/12/8/12

500ml bottle via Appleyards, Shrewsbury. Clear gold appearance. Foamy white head. Moderately sweet malt on the nose. Taste presents a moderately sweet, crisp, bright fruity hops. A proper real ale named after a steam locamotive with picture of said train on the bottle. I believe I've actually travelled on this at the Severn valley railway too. Excellent sweet blonde real ale.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Light gold, slightly hazy with a thin white head and considerable lacing. Lime cordial and rich tea biscuit in the aroma. Sweet taste, malt-led, with a touch of bittering hop near the finish. Not particularly imaginative but not bad either. A nice, inoffensive little beer.

Handpull cask at the Kings Head, Leicester. Light gold, clear with a touch of white head. Hay, butterscotch, toast in the aroma. Sweet syrupy taste. Not a lot to it. The perfect serving temperature stops this from being the typical buttery gold.
