Brewed in the heart of Yorkshire, this amber ale is a true British classic - the kind of beer that’ll warm your cockles on the coldest of Northern nights. Brewed at the famous Black Sheep Brewery in Masham using Maris Otter malted barley, it’s packed full of rich, fruity flavours for a classic ale that leads the field, rather than following the herd.

Grainy and malty nose. The beer is neutral malty. Hints of dry caramel, fresh and smooth, not too deep with caramelly and slightly bitter hints. Sessionable with not too much depth. Easy drinking stuff.

Bottle at home in London with Rick. Pours clear copper with a frothy white head. The nose has some dried fruit, sultanas. Light-medium sweet flavor with lightly grainy malts, bread, leathery dried fruits, mild earthy and leafy bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Simple finish with some toasty biscuits, dry grains, earth, light husk, more dried fruits. Not altogether bad.

Bottle from Morrisons, Manchester. Deep amber with a small head. More like a bitter than an amber ale with some grain involved in its taste and a mild sweetness in both aroma and taste and pleasant enough.

Bottle from Morrisons and drank at home. Clear paleish brown/deep amber lasting off white head. Some amber malt on the aroma. It’s a decent bitter. Some amber malts. A little bit of hop. It’s fine. Quite malty and interesting. Drinkable enough. OK. It’s fine. Not too exciting but ok.
