Hardly light at 5%, but a paler, more bitter stablemate of the Ruby Mild. Again, as befits the area, it is still sweeter than you might think. It pours a lovely light golden colour, with a thin coller of foam. Light in aroma, the first hit is bittering hops, with a bit of lemon and citrus thrown in. Refreshing more than characterful

Two hand pulled pints in the brewery tap (The Beacon Hotel) on 24th March 2012.
Amber to golden body: weak, thin white head that is almost just a collar as soon as it’s poured. Wish it looked better.
The nose is hop dominated but not overly strong or deep, a mildly malty ester or two can also be detected as the beer warms.
Good blend of flavours in the mouth: hops, malts and then hops again as the mouth dries.
Good body strenght and depth of flavours from the first sip to the last.

On cask at malt n hops, Fenton. Pale golden, a black country bitter, sweetish and very smooth. Not as good as bathams but very nice indeed.
