COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Occasional.
Pale amber bitter combining two generations of English hops – Goldings grown in Britain for over 100 years and Pioneer one of the newer hedgerow varieties which is less than 10 years old. The former adds spice and the latter a fresh grassy citrus flavour.

DanielBrown (2718) - Birmingham (via Leicester), - APR 25, 2006
Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Dark yellow colour, with a cream slim head, and lacing. Malty on finish, quite bready. A little gentle spring-time hop to start. Not too flavoursome, a bit drudgey. OK session beer, no more.

UPDATED: NOV 15, 2009 Cask Conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival 06 as E&S Lock Keeper. Amber to gold colour with bubbly white head. Light fruity citrusy Golden bitter, dry on the tongue with a bitter finish, its a nice little mouth cleanser. Good for warm spring days lying on the lawn watching the world go by. Re Rate 14/11/09 as Elland Lock Keeper in The Lamp, Birmingham, copper with white head, hoppy bittersweet, easy drinking.
