A rich red premium bitter that beautifully balances roasted malts with sherbert grapefruit hoppiness.

Cask at the Townhouse, Ely. Amber, clear, wonderful white head and a fair bit of lacing. Vinous smell. Cedar, turpentine, currants, a hint of tobacco. Taste is sweet, smooth and fruity. Surprisingly complex, deftly turning bitter on the tongue mid-sip. Intense yet balanced aftertaste. Moreish. This excellent real ale brewery have done it again.

8th June 2014 sat in the sun on the front terrace of the excellent Barking Smack on Great Yarmouth’s seafront road. Hand-pulled half-pint. Good deep amber body with a reddish hue, on top a smooth white covering of tight bubbles. I found it hoppier than malty, a nice blend of flavours actually. Nothing overly powerful or mega tasting, just a good easy to drink British beer.

Cask at Ales & Tails, Twickenham - 15/12/12. Lightly hazed copper with reddish hues and a thin off white head that clears to the edge of the glass and leaves a thin film. Nose is caramel malt, sweet sugars, pine, hops, strawberry jam. Taste follows, more fruit notes, apricot, pine, sugars, a little biscuit. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bitter sweet finish. Decent stuff.

Cask at the Maypole, Cambridge. Clear reddish copper pour with a glass hugging head and no real lace. The aroma is spicy citrus leading to a heavily hopped smooth bitter flavour with grapefruit notes on the palate. A beautiful smooth, flavourful ale, good for all seasons. Shame it’s not more widely available.
