Yorkshire bitter, Yorkshire's best. Named after Mary Jane’s suitor, representing everything that is great about traditional Yorkshire bitter. Rich nut-brown colour and the soft caramel flavour is fused with our unique hop character.

Half, served from cask at The Queens Head, our local in St Pancras. Amber coloured body with a slight haze. Missing head. Fruity nose mingled with mid-sweet malts. Malt-fruity taste of herbal hops and nuts. Rounded bitter finish. A decent Brit bitter (London, 26.11.2012).

Craft. Clear gold beer, little white head. Palate is light and very dry. Sweetish orange and tangerine. Trace of raw grain. Finishes very dry. Flavour is fine but this is so dry I am struggling to swallow. Some mild bitterness in the aftertaste.

Cask at CBC Clerkenwell, London. Pours clear gold with a fine, white foam head. Dry, crunchy leaves in the nose, some light hay and grains. Light to medium sweet flavor with more dry leaves, faintly toasted grass, some dried orange. Decent, lingering hops. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Bitter leaf and toasty grass finish, some toasty grains, too. Very good bitter. Pretty classic.
