30th June 2015: cask, hand-pulled half-pint in the Rocklands Club, Redditch. Pump clip has no mention of the brewery, or Jubilee: had to ask who brewed it (checked online before adding). Slight haze to the light golden pour, on top a white crown that gave off some lacing. Light malts in the nose and flavour with a caramel, semi-sweet feel to the whole brew. OK, but nothing really special.

Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - opaque black with a lovely fawn head. Nose - dark chocolate, honeycomb, caramel. Taste - charcoal, dark chocolate, light honeycomb and dry caramel again. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry roasty finish. Overall - the nose was more inviting than the taste.

Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - hazy amber with a decent head. Nose - light sulphur, then crystal malt. Taste - light spice and dry biscuit. Toffee on the finish. Palate - light to medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a long dry crunchy finish. Overall - it’s not generous and it’s a bit gnarly but it’s definitely worth persisting with.

Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - hazy amber with a decent head. Nose - cookie dough. Taste - digestive biscuit, light chocolate in the back and a dried fruit note. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a balanced dry finish. Overall - this grew on me. Not bad at all.

500ml bottle thanks to Ashton McCobb. Pours clear golden, thin white head. Aromas of toffee and a slightly stale note, wet cardboard. Taste is light toffee, light twiggy note. OK, if a bit dull.

Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. Like their other beers it doesn’t hang around too long. Nose - toffee but with a dank cardboard note. Taste - toffee, faint biscuits and spice in there. Palate - light to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - a bit bland and concerning cardboard aroma.

Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - amber. There’s a head initially but then it just gets tae. Nose - shandy, basically a malt drink with lemonade added. Taste - dry biscuits then lemon. Light caramel. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - it didn’t start well but it recovered somewhat.
