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.

Gravity dispense at the Happy Man Autumn BF, Englefield Green, 11/10/13. And now for a half decent birthday beer! Clear golden with a thin off white head. Nose is caramel, ripe tropical fruit fumes wafting off, ’noffee pie, straw, toasted malt. Taste comprises caramel malt, pineapple, straw, orange, dark tropical tang, light candied sugars. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, grassy bitterness in the finish. Tasty number - I enjoyed this.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2011. Clear chestnut colour lasting bubbly beige head. Its a decent esb with good malts. Some good hop on end and some biscuit. English beers just seem to be dryer than their american counterparts. Good solid fruity malts good hop bite.

Bottle from The Inn Beer Shop, Southport. Clear bronze pour with a smallish but lingering off white head. Sweet malt aroma with some vague fruit and a hint of booze, with the taste being a similar yarn. Dryish bitter finish. Certainly a drinkable brew not without some character. As half decent Wirral bottled beer is a real rarity I would certainly drink it again if I could only find it more locally than Southport.
