Cask conditioned at Stratford upon Avon Beer Festival ’07. Brown orange beer with cream head. Definitely not their Dark Mild, this is stronger and paler, but seemingly brewed quite similarly. A West Midlands Mild alright, fruity and smooth with a sweetish fresh pale malt taste, soft water, but a little underwhelming. Smooth sweetish finish. Not bad really.

First tasted this in Coanes, Johnstone in May 1994. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear mahogany in colour with a thin creamy white head. Slight note of weak coffee in the short aroma. Thin but creamy mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts deliver a rich digestive biscuit base laden with hedgerow fruit, bramble in particular. Dusty hop prickle gives a dry note to the short aftertaste. Finish is malty and moreish with maple syrup and dates. A lovely mild and well recommended.

Cask conditioned at Cockney Pub, Århus
Mahogany color. It has a nice aroma, sweet, of caramel and dried plums. It has a round mouthfeel, but it’s light in the mouth, with a basic caramel flavor and limited residual sweetness. Some dark caramel in the final. Only for Mild lovers.
