Our traditional session bitter, our best seller and gold award winner.
Malty taste with caramel hints and not over bitter finish. Who said this style was out of fashion!

Gusher left a huge loose head & froth on a murky copper coloured body.
Malt & bitter aroma.
Medium bodied, highly carbonated with a short dry back.
Caramel, sour, bitter & toffee tastes.
Suspect this is off & it's a sink pour.

21/1/2021. Bottle bought direct from the Brewery. Pours clear tawny brown with a small creamy off-white head. Aroma is malty, caramel, fruity, slightly nutty. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Nice bittersweet finish. Body as you'd expect from a 3.7% bitter. Keeps a bit of carbonation throughout. A perfectly drinkable traditional session bitter.

On cask at Three Tuns Dronfield - Rich amber body, thin white head. Taste and nose is a bit plain, caramel and malty, but stronger in the aroma. Bit of a wash down ale.
