ALT Acorn Barnsley Gold (4.3% ABV) One of the original brews from the 23-year-old stable it’s named for the ‘gold’ of south Yorkshire – King Coal – it’s a smooth, golden best bitter which heartily endures in the face of the rise of more extreme hoppy brews. Bright golden with a slight amber hue and a creamy white head, it looks gorgeous before an aroma hit of fresh citrus zest, hints of grapefruit, orange peel, and floral hop, In the mouth there’s zesty citrus with subtle pale malt in the background for a perfect balance of fruity sweetness and slight herbal note followed by a refreshing clean, dry and crisp lingering bitterness. Beautifully drinkable. Try with Hereford Steak & Guest Ale Pie. Big Hand Super Tidy Pale Ale (4.0v); When the late founder Dave Shaw started off 12 years ago he believed that beer imbibing should be fun with friends. This brew perfectly fits that profile; British style pale ale with pale malt and gentle hops at a drinkable, moderate, strength.
