 DanielBrown (1919), Birmingham (via Leicester), West Midlands, England
Feb 4, 2005 Hand pulled at The Gateway, Leicester (during RB Leicester crawl). Ahh, here we are on the downhill section of the crawl, down to 3 participants, and edging nearer to chucking-out time. Golden beer, no head. Good beer, right out of nowhere! Smooth, balanced and clean. A good, big hop flavour to finish. Deserves reward for it’s excellent balance, which this brewery seems to have mastered.

Jan 30, 2005 Cask handpump at the Swan in the Rushes, Loughborough. Golden colour with a creamy white head and good lacing. Dry, hoppy and fruity. Refreshing and very drinkable.

Jan 28, 2005 A fairly typical golden ale. Fresh, crisp and clean, ith a noticeable citric hop presence. The finish, however, is a little on the soft side. Fairly straightforward, but pleasant enough. Cask (handpump), Gateway, Leicester (RB pub crawl).

Jan 12, 2005 Cask Conditioned & on Hand Pump from The Alex in Derby. With a sparkler.
