Named for the World War II aircraft, this beer was brewed initially by Mitchell’s in Lancaster, England. When Mitchell’s retired from brewing, it was picked up by neighbor Thwaites and they turned it into a major brand. In 2014 Marston's took over production of most Thwaites beers after the closure of the latter's main brewery. Banks's already brewed Lancaster Bomber under licence since 2014 but now Banks's is part of Marston's and the beer has become a Banks's in house beer. So you may see this beer branded as Banks's or Marstons.

500 ml can brewed by Marstons. Pours clear amber coloured, small head. Caramel, nuts, citrus, orange peel, grassy notes, some metal, some herbal hoppy notes. Decent dry bitterness, some malty sweetness, very balanced. Medium bodied, soft carbonated, oily texture, dry finish. Very round and smooth. Enjoyable!

Bottle at home. I used to drink loads of these, but this is the first since I started keeping records. It's a typical English bitter; perfectly drinkable with a low abv, but nothing special
