Dec 29, 2008 Slightly sweet, in the Black Country style, but with some hops as well. Nice body, and very moreish. It varies in quality, due to climatic conditions and subtle variations in the recipe, as befits an artisanal product. Martin, the new brewer, is doing a good job. This is my wife’s favourite draught beer, and I agree that it deserves a platform similar to the famous Dark Ruby.

Mar 20, 2003 Draught at Beacon Hotel, Sedgley. Pale brown with bubbly head. Quite a hoppy beer, almost tangy. Bitter and sweet at the same time, sweet malt flavours in the aftertaste.

Mar 29, 2005 Sampled on tap at the Beacon Hotel, Sedgley. This appeared less brown, but more like another orangey/amber beer, with a creamy lacing. Unspecified aroma. Rich silky Bitter - very dry but not offensive. Some syrup and pepper, pineapple and then hard malt to finish. Very balanced and addictive - and enjoyed in the splendid surroundings of this well maintained, period pub.

Oct 23, 2009 Cask gravity at St Albans BF 09. Gold, slight haze, thin white head. Pretty good premium golden ale. Good fullness on the pale malts. Decent biscuit flavour. Some citrus fruityness on finish. Little hop bitterness but good citrusy furit. Fine.

Jan 29, 2007 Cask Pale orange beer with B.C."H.". Very subdued nose, with just some unspecific malts. Very malty, even patisserie flavours, cookie notes, with a rather good UK hops ending. Light to medium bodied, rather thin for S. Hughes habits. Very surprising indeed, but all in all a nice beer.
