A straw-coloured bitter which initially seems sweet, but a complex dry, hoppy taste soon predominates.

Probably the best example of the traditional Black Country style of bitter. No better partner to a lunchtime snack!

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A clear golden beer with a mid-sized most good lasting off-white head. Aroma of mild grainy malt, soft sweet malt with hints of straw. Taste of grainy malt, toasted malt, flowery hops, soft grassy bitterness, okay!
