Our local bitter, extremely popular in Devizes and district and available throughout the Wadworth trading area - light, refreshing and sessionable.
An aroma of gentle malt with slight hoppiness combines with a good balance of flavours on palate, maltiness gradually dominating. There is a long-lasting after taste to match which eventually becomes biscuity.
Ingredients: 92% pale malt, 6% crystal malt and 2% cane sugar. The bitterness units of 20-22 are obtained from Fuggles hops (80% of total) in the copper and Goldings hops (20%) on the hop back plates. Colour rating is 22.

3.3.15 Cask at the Bell, Wendens Ambo. The sulphur in the taste and aroma were so intense and unpleasant that I felt that I would need to knock it down a few notches.
Cask @ Cricketers Arms, Bedford. Noncommittal golden brown, decent full white head. Light aroma. Bit of malt and citrus notes with sulphur astringency. Taste takes a while to kick in, a decent sour bitterness followed by a bittersweet hoppy aftertaste. Good but not too distinct from other low strength bitters (it goes without saying that this is not an IPA).

Now 3.5%ABV: hand-pulled half-pint at the 34th Telford Beer Festival (Crown Inn, Oakengates) on 4 May 2013. Clear amber/golden body with a thin white head of bubbles on top. Malty for an IPA, in both the nose and mouth with just a hint of floral hops to stop it being an overly sweet smelling and tasting beer. Biscuit/bread more than sweeter molasses, the beer having a pleasant semi-bitter feel throughout. An ideal starter, it set my taste buds up nicely for the Mild and dark beer attack I was about to begin.

Cask at Great Queen Street, London. Pours clear good with a soft, white foam head. Very simple, classic bitter. Some lightly toasted bread, mellow leafy bitterness. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Mild sweet finish, bready malts, light grains and leaves. Pleasant.

Golden amber in colour with a thin white head. Hoppy aroma. Thin but creamy mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts giving a chewy digestive biscuit flavour instead of the full blown citric notes expected from an IPA - a pleasant surprise indeed! Raisin fruit notes evident and slight hop resin dryness in the balanced finish.

Cask at the Goat and Tricycle, Bournemourh. Poured a clear golden brown with a light frothy head but bags of lace. No real aroma of note. The flavour is all about the malt with just a hint of bitterness that lingers for a while on the palate. A very drinkable beer it must be said, but not the kind of IPA that I was expecting. A very good session ale though. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Half at the Master Builder, West End. Pours clear amber with a small white head. Light malt and hoppy aroma with a little caramel. Same in flavour, light sweet and light bitter. Drinkable but thin bodied and not very exciting.
