An amber beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet spicy - especially ginger mixes with the malt notes. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of caramel, hops, and flowers, leading to a dry slightly bitter end.

Light brown very flavourful bitter, plenty of malt and good bitterness, decent finish. Visit the brewery evey year on holidays to pick up a case or two and this in my opinion is by far and away their best beer. Very good beer.

Foxy-amber clear beer; small off-white head, very fine bubbled. Laurel, ambrée malt, some yeasty esters, and nothing but very faraway hops. Slightly sweet-malty taste, cookies, with a fleeting whiff of bitter hops, and a tad ureum/sulphur. Again a laurel/bay leaf flavour. Remarkable mineral-water feel, very light burning MF, and very light body. It’s a LOT better on cask. Why do they filter this?? STRONG ale???

Visit the brewery a couple of times a year and pick up a case or two and this in my opinion is by far and away their best beer. Light brown very flavourful bitter, plenty of malt and good bitterness, decent finish. Very good beer.
