Full bodied, traditional-style mid-brown “best” brewed from 100% English barley malt and copious English Challenger and Boadicea hops, which shine through.

Cask at Christian Firtal, in perfect condition. Copper with a thin white head. Aroma of toffee and bready malt, some hay and grassy and floral hop notes, and a fine fruity note. Dry, but full bodied with a clean and perfectly balanced malty, grassy and fruity flavour with a nice bitter finish. One of those beers that makes you think "if all sub-4% brown bitters were like this............."
