Bottle from Secretts, Milford. Aroma is rich - malty with a berry edge. Actiuly its doughy, rye sour bread. Clear light chestnut. Thin microbubbled translucent white head. Malty aroma - again rich with a healthy fruity dollop. Sweet malty. A tad sickly actually. Tangy berries. And that's not the only sourness. Underlying boiled veg remnants. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Alright. Had a stressful week so any booze will suffice.

500ml bottle: BBE June 2022. Drank at home on 28th September 2021. Weak off-white head on a clear brown body that had a red hue to it's colour. Malty front to the aroma and taste, nice 'old school' British Bitter with understated hops giving a balance and bitterness to the brew; no citrus fruits were harmed in the kettle of this beer.

A bottle sitting on the grass in the sunshine at Wrest Park St George’s Day festivities while my girls fought running battles with their plastic swords. This was a superb English bitter, with gentle bitter hops, a nice biscuit malt, low carbonation, a slight fruity sweetness and a lovely mouth feel. Maybe it was the occasion, but it was one that a beer such as this is made for. Really, really nice.
