Bottle from Tebay Services, Cumbria. Dark golden pour with a small white head. Decent citrus in the snout. Very tidy hoppage. Dry bitter finish, Really drinkable. Definitely the best I’ve tasted from Hawkshead.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Hazy amber with a tight white head; orange marmalade aroma; fruity marmalade taste with a malty body with a touch of caramel; then a crisp, clean, refreshing, grapefruit bitterness to finish. Really good stuff.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; clear amber pour with frothy off white head, aroma is sticky toffee pudding, this had a predominant caramel taste not sure of the bottle age but I’m not getting the hops of other reviews, maybe the lupulus had left the bottle, there a slight hint of grapefruit.

Aroma: Earthy with a light white pepper spice. Pear with hints of vine tomato.
Appearance: Hazy golden body with a medium white head. No visible carbonation. Great lacing.
Taste: Bitter, spicy hops with hints of pear and orange marmalade. Bitter and delicious.
Palate: Medium body with an oily texture. Light carbonation.
Overall: A superb, well-hopped Bitter - verging on a Pale Ale.
