A traditional English ordinary bitter. Light amber in colour, with balanced flavours of caramel and biscuit malt. Our sessionable ale has a good body that drinks well — and long. Perfect for a hot summer’s day in the park, yard, or deck!

Tap @ the brewpub. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are caramel, nuts, hops, fruits and has a nice malty finish.

Can: Poured a translucent amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry caramelized malt with some cereal notes. Taste is a smooth mix of cereal notes with dry caramel malt notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Simple but well brewed with great drinkability.

On tap at Flora Hall, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is on point for the style, with an unmistakable British bready malt character, and just enough English hops. Flavour is much the same, with British bready malt and ample bittering hops. Clean and smooth, with proper assertive bitterness. Would be interesting to try this on cask. Pretty damn authentic.

A beautiful copper red ale with a thin white head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with British hops, light mineral notes, pleasant. In mouth, a crisp biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, light treacle, light butterscotch, pleasant and smooth. On tap at brewery.

On tap at the brewery, as just a week old. Pours a hazy golden-amber colour with a warm cap and a little lace. Hoppy nose for a bitter, but all very mild. Mild watery caramel at first, which is fine for the style. Then, grassy burnt hops show up with hints of nuts, in the finish. Can't say I am a fan of the hops used here (or the amount), but still a decent session brew overall.
