A rich deep chestnut coloured ale, with a beautifully smooth creamy head. A citrus aftertaste gives way to a long dry finish. Subtitled Brown Swiss.

Cask at the Spoons in Tunbridge Wells. Creamy, rich, bitter hops and just pure drinkability. Really good. Not special but good.

Cask at Standing Order, Derby. Pours a dark ruby with brownish hints. Has a small cream head with good lacing. Malts and cream in the aroma. In the mouth it is slightly sweet with a creamy texture. There’s a fair sprinkling of traditional hops in the flavour, plus hints of ginger. Later some fruitiness, caramel and malts can be detected. Finish is quite bitter. Pretty decent, though I would call it more a bitter than a brown ale.
