Well rounded malty flavour, sweetish overtones followed by a subtle bitterness and fruity notes from the infusion of traditional hops from the neighbouring hop fields of Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

Pours a dark amber colour with a small off white head. Not much of an aroma, some bread but that?s about it. Not much flavour either, a little caramel some breadiness but watery and not a lot in the finish either. Disappointing.
