| Golden bitter which had a sweet fruity taste and a nice dry finish. A reasonable session beer. |

| Hoppy golden beer with a fruity taste. A good beer from a small brewery. Drank this in the brewery beer hall in Staveley. |

| Golden beer with a hint of hops in the taste. OK after a walk in the Lakes to quench thirst, but not the best on the market. Eagle & Child Staveley. |

| Tasted this traditional bitter in Esquire House, Glasgow (JDW) in June 2010. Crystal clear pale copper in colour with a thin white head. Short aroma of crisp green apples. Thin mouthfeel and poor lacing. Weak pale malt base gives a digestive biscuit note with a slight hint of dried currants. Aftertaste is dry and metallic, with a sharp tang of hop resins. Finish is very dry and bitter with a woody oak cask note. An ok session bitter but very thin bodied and lacking in complexity. |

| Golden amber beer with a slight hoppy aroma. Taste of sweet hops and a fruity finish evident. Not a strong tasting beer but OK. |

| Tasted this mild in the Saltcot, Saltcoats (JDW) in May 2010. Crystal clear ruby red in colour with a thin buff head. Thin mouthfeel and poor lacing. Roasted malt and winegums in the short aroma. Dark malts impart a sweet fruity overtone of dry redcurrants and red grapes. Bitter hop resins in the aftertaste give a woody briar flavour. Sweet vinous fruit note returns in the well balanced finish. A decent session mild and recommended. |

| Tasted this mild in the Saltcot, Saltcoats (JDW) in May 2010. Clear ruby black in colour with a thick creamy buff tan head. Strong roast grain aroma that lingers well and a good creamy mouthfeel. Good lacing throughout. Dark malts give a big juicy treacle toffee flavour which is full in the mouth. Initial sweetness abaits somewhat as drier flavours come through. Black malt is also there with a dusty burnt toast note. The dry theme continues with weak instant coffee and bitter plain chocolate notes in the aftertaste. Bitter hop resins compliment the dry malt element well. A dry liquorice taste comes through in the moreish finish. A very traditional style of mild this, harking back to the good old days. Recommended. |
