The name is derived from the days when sailors from Merseyside would demand full rations. The high level of alcohol is complemented by increased bitterness and the fruity hop finish is derived from a combination of Fuggles and First Gold hops.

Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a bright copper with a small white head and good lacing. Malts and traditional hops blend together well in the aroma. The mouthfeel has freshness with a bite. Malts are mixed with berries with underlying caramel and toffee plus hints of oranges. Finish is quite malty. This is a nice beer – and deceptively easy to dsrink !

Bright clear amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and for the abv, a little thin. Decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth malts, a trace of unsweet toffee. Touches of sherry and brandy with a little floral bitterness. Trace of citrus. Not bad at all, thin but pretty drinkable.

500ml bottle, present from the wife after her weekend in Liverpool. Poured into a UK Pint sleeve at home on 19th Feb 2017. Orange hue to the amber body, off-white, creamy textured head. Hop centric and fairly bitter, liked it.

Gravity cask at Bedford Beer Festival. Medium to dark gold. Clear with perfect natural carbonation. Aroma consists of malt and straw, with a bit of orange peel and candy sugar. Nice bittersweet taste. Simple but it grows on you. Bitter finish. Mouthfeel strengthened by out-of-this-world carbonation (from a cask).
