This excellent session beer has won numerous awards over the years and it is easy to see why. Brewed using Marris Otter malt and Goldings, Fuggles and Challenger hops, it is hoppy with a dry finish which makes it irresistibly moreish.

Golden bitter which is lacking in a head. It makes up for this with some tasty malts that have a slight biscuit flavour making is slightly spicy in the palate, but not much. Aroma is light malts.

50cl bottle, thanks David. BB 28-06-2013. Lot#2172. Ambrée, col fin beige blanc. Arôme est malté et fleuri, type malt le tout laissant un léger fleuri houblonne, et un bouquet typique anglais. Palais est fleuri et agréablement amer tenant aussi des notes de citronnelle. Palais reste sec et amer, bien fruité restant typique pour ce style on en peut plus anglais. Sur la fin, on retrouve un profil malté grillé et caramel tirant légèrement sur la noisette typique de Maris Otter. Reste léger, facile à boire.

Bottled at Akkurat, Stockholm. Clear deep amber. Fruity hay aroma. Mid dry, light bodied with well rounded mouthfeel. Ripe fruits, slight notes of caramel. Mid bitter finish. Not as great as on cask.
