Amber in colour, this is a traditional British bitter, with the hops used imparting a blackcurrant fruit character, superbly balanced by a rich maltiness in the finish.

Dedicated to the former female PM, this is a darker amber coloured ale with a malty character.

Spoons Fest. Clear gold beer. Light semi dry palate. Light dry malt. Sweet and fruity hops - orange and lemon. Not bitter. Finishes dry with more citrus hop. Refreshing!

[Cask at the Back of Beyond, Reading] Amber-gold, white head, slight fizz. Aroma, mouthfeel and initial taste of a cheap lager – cardboardy malt with dirty citrus hints. Redeems itself as sweet pineapple notes (sorry to add yet another fruit to the veritable cornucopia in previous ratings!) grow with time, with a decent hoppy bitter finish. OK overall, although I’m not sure I’d have it again.

Cask-conditioned at the Savoy (JDW), Swindon 29/10/09. Pale amber with a slight white head. Grassy hop, sweet malts and apricot aroma. Flavour was sweetish, with some more fruits, leading to a spicy, yeasty finish. Ok.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Amber with a thin white head; aroma of hay and heafy hops; fruity hop flavour and a dry hoppy finish. Rather plain, but OK.

Cask handpull at Samuel Peto, JDW, Folkestone. Copper gold colour with thin disappearing off white head. It’s a bitter. Exactly what you would expect. Some hop sting on finish. It’s a bitter. It’s alright, some biscuit malt, some hop on finish.
