Bronze coloured bitter with a really complex flavour profile and blackcurrant notes.
Named after the famous wooden rollercoaster that used to be at the local fairground until a nearby rival firm bought the ground and stripped all the good stuff away.

Draft at Craft 100 Spring 2016 - Craft Beer Co. Clapham, London. Pours clear orange-gold with a white cream topping. Bland aroma, with little more than pale bread. Grainy flavour, lightly sweet, with notes of aged orange peel. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Grainy finish. So so overall.

Cask gravity at Craft 100. It pours clear amber with a small, bubbly white head. The aroma is quite soft, brown bread, grainy, cereal and leather. The taste is soft, malt-driven, brown bread, cereal, leather and a touch of caramel. Medium body and fine carbonation. A simple, yet drinkable bitter.

Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Clear amber pour with a tiny off white head. Some grapefruit and sweet malt lurking in the nose. Similar flavour with some gentle hoppage. Crisp, fruity and easy drinking. Dry lingering bitter finish. Definitely one of the better english bottled bitters out there amongst a sea of mediocrity.

Cask-conditioned at the Royal Oak, Bath 15/07/10. Amber coloured with a slight, off-white head. Bready malts with a touch of damson fruit, and trace of chocolate powder. Flavour was sweetish with some fruit and a decent bitter finish. Good.
