On draft
A fine bitter but not my favorite this at least knocks out another English county. I’d be willing to try a few Wye Valley offerings in the future as it is not that bad.
Aroma / Appearance - The flat bronze body and lingering head sit comfortably in the half pint glass. Wurther’s hard candy, semi-sweet chocolate, and nutty dough give a nice first impression.
Flavor / Palate - Noble hops, sweet syruppy hazel. and a calm malt bill ease their way from start to finish with a minimum of fuss. The texture is like liquid Jiffy peanut butter. If there is a flaw to be had it is simply that after a few sips I lost interest and was ready for a new pint.

Ruby amber pour with a thin creamy head and heavy, spotty lacing. Light malt aromas, some crystal and some wheat. Hops are balanced and light. Malts are little more thick in the flavors, with the bitter hops coming out to play.

Cask at The Victoria, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is weak malt which leads to a medium bitter flavour with a smooth malty palate. It was served a little cooler than normal which probably suited it. A fine English session ale.
