You can spot a true original a mile off. Like our Original brew. Bristol born and made to stand out. Created from Maris Otter malt and a secret blend of English hops. Meticulously crafted before ‘craft’ was even a thing. Its distinctive bitter, clean and refreshing flavour has been Bristol’s go-to for good times since the 1970’s. From the first sip to the last drop, you’ll never taste a beer quite like it.

Cask at Little Man, Wettenhall (Cheshire – not listed in RateBeer). Pours a bright golden amber with a medium sized off-white head. Malts to the fore in the aroma with some fruity hints. In the mouth it is sweet with malts dominant, plus a sprinkling of traditional hops and traces of autumn fruits. This is a decent old school bitter.

Pours a clear amber colour with a small creamy off-white head. Aroma is malty with some fruity and hoppy notes. A moderately sweet taste, sweet malts, caramel and light fruit flavours with a light bitter finish.

Chestnut brown with a creamy white head and a sweet, malty aroma with a hint of dry, dark fruit in there. Tastewise it's malty and fruity, slightly dry and a little bitter, an old school brown bitter with a nice edge to it, on the thin side but very smooth and very drinkable

Historical tick which I am adding as a rate so that I can see the impact it has on my stats. 500 Beers To Try Before You Die. This one always rings a bell because a mate found the name rather more funny than it is and insisted everyone had to have one.
