This is an ambient bitter, successfully merging the biscuity sweetness of English malt with the fruity, floral bitterness of locally grown East Kent Goldings and Target hops, to give a clean, satisfying and moreish drink.

Also sold as Premium House Ale in the Swedish Bishops Arms pub chain.

Draught at Bishop’s Arms Vasagatan. Stockholm. (as Bishop’s Arms House Ale) Clear pale brownish amber, minimal head. Vague caramel aroma. Sweetish and light bodied with some light papery malt, clean hard mouthfeel and low hop rate. Quite thin undeveloped malt character. Light mangoish hops gives a brief resiny bitterness.

(Draught at Bishops Arms, Västra Hamngatan, Göteborg) Had as "Bishops Arms Premium House Ale". Clear copper color, small but lasting tan head. Rather lightbodied. Good balance between malt and hops in both taste and scent. Though it’s a bit plain and almost bordering into boring. Low bitterness. Still it’s refreshing and probably a great ale to have if you want a neutral "food beer". Apparently brewed to win over some lager drinkers to the ale side of the beer world.
