Delicate and devilishly drinkable, this quintessentially Kentish ale lays the county's hallowed, herbaceous hops on a firm, biscuity bed of pale and crystal malt. Endowed with an inviting auburn-amber hue and a tantalising toffee-ish aroma, it's an enlivening English ale that, given its unassuming ABV, pleasures the palate with a remarkable fullness of flavour.

Cask pint @ The Millers Arms, Canterbury. Pours clear amber, small off-white head. Aroma of fleeting, light, faintly sweet malts. Taste is typically very light, thin bodied, overly watery, very light sweetish malts. Marginally adequate table beer but difficult to warm to.

On cask at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - copper with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - a bit of strawberry syrup over malt biscuits. Taste - yes, Jammy Dodgers all the way. Palate - light to medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a finish that could be fresher. Overall - has some high points but a little unbalanced.

On tap at the three horseshoes, Waddington. A slightly disappointing beer. Not much to say other than below par bitter.
