Pours almost clear honey amber with a medium off-white head. A malty caramel and a green grassy hop aroma. A caramel sweet malty flavour with some hoppy bitterness and a decent bitter finish.

(Cask at Kitty’s, 20151204) The beer poured deep amber and nearly clear. Its head was small, white and it lasted long. Aroma had toffee, earth and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, toffee, nettles, grass, earth, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was earthy and bitter. A nice solid bitter with nice hop profile.

Half from cask at Grove Inn. Clear copper coloured body, fading off-white head blanking the upper part of the glass. Subdued aroma of mid-sweet malts and resinous hops. Caramel and leaf hoppy flavours followed by a bittersweet ending. Classic Brit bitter. Okay (Leeds Holbeck 07.07.2015).

4.4% Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 2015. Clear brown amber colour lasting off white head. Malty aroma. It’s another brown best bitter which is fine and well done and balanced. Some decent hop on the finish. Very English brown bitter. Some biscuit. Fine.

Cask, The Old Bridge Hotel, Holmfirth. Darkish copper looks with a mid sized white head. Malt driven with some hoppage in the nose and flavour. Is this supposed to tatste of nettles ? Didn’t pick up on that really. Bitter finish. Drinkable but in no way exciting. As a footnote , Mark E Smith was drinking in here with the rest of The Fall prior to playing at the Picturehouse next door which is probably more interesting than this beer.
