Rochdale Beer Festival 2016. Deep red with a small glow. Has a sticky-sweet, but understated dark malts character. Quite tasty nevertheless.

50cl bottle. A cloudy straw coloured pour with a thin white head; sweet grassy aroma; chalky in the mouth with a sweet citrusy taste and grainy body; and a sweet biscuity finish. A bland golden ale.

The flavour is moderate sweet light bitter with a dry malt, light pepper spice hop, light fruity palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask at the King and Castle, Kidderminster. Poured a clear light amber with a frothy long lasting white head and lots of clingy lace. The aroma is super malty, light fruit, hop bitter. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a smooth, fresh, dry malty woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. A plain and simple English bitter. Fine for a session.

50cl bottle. A straw coloured pour with a fast fading white head and light carbonation; light biscuity malt aroma; rather thin in the mouth with a crystal malt taste and a fresh citrus tang; and a clean crisp finish. A rather good light bitter.

April 8th 2019: Cask @ Black Boy, Bridgnorth. Clear gold, small foamy white head. Solid golden ale with a pleasant sweetness running throughout. Like most traditional ales this is much better on draft than bottle, hence a re-rate from 2.4 Nov 26th 2016: 500ml bottle @ Richโs 7k tasting, thanks to blackhaddock. Pours clear gold, thin bubbly head. Aroma is firmly in the lightly sweet malts camp. Very light sweetness to the malts on the palate. Very light body. A fine start to the evening.

Catching up on ratings from GBBF 2016. From cask. Poured dark brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, fruit, liquorice and a touch of honey. Quite sweet, moderate bitterness. Medium bodied, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Very good.
