A rich aroma of hops and malt develops a full texture in the mouth. It has a long, deep, bitter-sweet finish. Without doubt an exceptional best bitter.
Ingredients: Maris Otter pale malt. Challenger and East Kent Goldings hops.

Pour is a nice red with a small white head. Aroma is fruity with a touch of malt. Flavor is roasted malts,slight fruit with a woody backbone. Finishes very dry. Nothing really great but worth the $1.99 a pint I paid for it.

Bottled - an unimpressive looking copper ale pours, headless from the bottle - the aroma isn't much more encouraging, faint hints of yeast and dough - body is thin, but the flavor slowly reveals notes of bread, biscuits, a touch of gingerbread and a subdued sweetness - toasty hop finish - not all that complex, but it is a decent bitter

A light nutbrown or amber beer with no head. The aroma is weird with notes of hops, anise and pretty fresh. The flavor is carbonated, flat and pretty sweet of an OK maltblend containing münchner and caramel malt - the aftertaste is somewhat dry with a good bitterness. A pretty light beer.
