A traditional best bitter ale brewed with Pale and Crystal malts and Goldings aroma hops, resulting in a full-bodied amber coloured ale. Distinctive caramel notes, with nutty and roasted aromas lead to a bitter, but sweet taste.

Bottle courtesy of SimonTomlinson via the RB EU 2019-3 trade. Thanks! Brown with a fleeting, frothy head. Aroma of caramel, mixed grains. Taste is mildly bittersweet the whole way through, with the bitterness having the upper hand. Long finish full of roasted grain. Light bodied, watery texture, balanced carbonation. Not bad. Good flavor given the low ABV.

Dark amber, small white head despite a quite hard pour. Decent retention and some lacing. Mild but nice aroma has caramel and slightly toasted malts, slight red fruits and herbal notes. Also a buttery hint. Taste is caramel malts, slight fruitiness and a herbal and slightly earthy finish. Taste is medium sweet and medium bitter with a slightly bitter finish. Kinda feels like sweet and bitter notes are not perfectly integrated. Light bodied with light to medium carbonation, goes down easily. A traditional bitter even in terms of abv, does it's job at being easily drinkable but doesn't feel that fine to me.

From 50cl bottle. Pours dark amber with practically no foam. Aroma is quote liquor-like, despite the low alcohol level, plus it has caramel, a hint of herbaceous, and nuts. Body is medium, with low carbonation. Taste is bitter, though delicate, a little like terrain, not citrus. Typical UK hop flavor. Finish is relatively long in bitterness.
