A traditional copper coloured malt ale using the finest English hops to produce both a floral and smooth aroma but still having a sharp finish.

Pint of cask in the newly reopened village pub before lunch on Sunday. Good pour and looked brilliant in the glass. Not much nose. A typical easy drinking bitter. Very light malt and bitter hops. You could happily drink this all night. And that is the point. It's a beer for long afternoons or nights in the pub.

Hand-pulled pint (as Farmers Ale) on 19th November 2021: Two Doors Inn, Skipton. Clean amber pour, white crown. Light floral nose, mini-citrus twist in the aroma too. The taste is a decent blend of maltiness and hop bitterness. Easy drinking Bitter all round.

bottle from Bier Huis Ossett. Golden yellow, mid-sized white head. Malty base, pleasantly hoppy finish with a nice resiny, herbal and slightly citrusy character.

9/11/2018. Cask at the 24th Watford Beer Festival, as Bradfield Farmers Ale. Pours clear amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, flowers and biscuit. Medium sweetness and light to moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. A little bland.

Cask. Old Crown, Handsworth, Sheffield. Clear, copper colour. Sparkler induced, creamy, off white head. Nose has nutty malts. Some dried fruit. Bit of a yeasty twang. Taste is mostly dry, and light, vine fruit bitter. Light body. Vinous finish. Well, it’s completely bland as you’d expect from a Bradfield beer, but it’s not badly brewed. It’s just brown.

On cask at the Yorkshire Bridge by Bamford. Appearance - deep amber to brown with orange chinks. Good head that sticks around. Nose - meaty, marmite and sweet malt. Taste - sweet malt and more savoury notes. Burnt malt finish. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that could be fresher. Overall - a solid mild but not worth a revisit.
