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.

Had this from cask at Malvern Spring show 13-05-06. Thought that I had already rated this before but never mind. Much fruitier and better than the parish that i also had with good malt flavours also present, quite dark brown and a touch on the sweet side.

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful, deep amber with a dense, frothy head. Unusual heavy carbonation from the bottle conditioning and a huge sediment. Very spicy and slightly tart beer with a short but marked bitterness. I don’t get much of a malty sensation, but somehow this is more subtle and refined than your standard Bitter. 210201

A red beer with a disappearing beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries as well as hints of roasted malt - the aroma is a little too faint for my liking. The flavor is sweet and nicely malty as well as roasted and with hints of berries. The roasted malt gives it a dry end.

Hazy dark amber color. Quite well brewed Bitter, but simple, good caramel taste, noting else. Simple aroma. Correct bitterness.

Beautiful hazy amber color; thin head. Delicate malt and hop aroma. Quite malty, for a bitter, with a dominant caramel character, and a rising hop bitterness at the end. Quite good, but rough.
