The recipe is based upon an original beer made by Whitakers of Halifax in 1937.
A smooth well balanced traditional ruby bitter. Five different malts including crystal and amber create a rich toffee/cherry flavour. Earthy Fuggles and Goldings hops combine in a smooth English character with hints of kiwifruit and toffee.
Great with sausages or a Sunday roast. Also good with mature cheddar.

Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. New brewery for me. Clear ruby-brown colour with small off-white head. Bready malt aroma with caramel, fruit and spice. Lovely balance to the flavour with malt, nuts, chocolate, fruit, spice and a grassy bitterness. Medium bodied, fairly soft carbonation for the style. Very good.

Large foamy tan head grew on ruby coloured still body. Fruity, caramel &alt aroma. Medium bodied, highly carbonated with a sharp back. Sweet fruity berries, toffee & malt tastes with an extremely bitter tangy finish. Decent.

500 ml bottle, bought in Scarborough. Bottle conditioned. ABV is 5.0%. Copper coloured beer with a large and lasting creamy tan head. Pleasant aroma of fruity hops and malt. Lovely malty flavour with some caramel and fruity hops. A very nice and drinkable beer indeed.

Bottle. Reddish brown with large off white head. I wonder whether this has been kept a bit warm too long, but it's well in date. 3- A: toffee, red berries, earth, spices. Lightish bodied but a slow drinker. Fairly dry despite some toffee and red fruit. Firm bitterness.
