Tight white growing head on a hazy amber coloured body. Grain & malt aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a dry back. Malt, caramel, earthy & zesty citrus tastes with a bitter finish. Decent.

500ml bottle bought at The Real Ale Store in Newark. Shared with Finn. White bubbly head that laced quite well, hazy amber body. Promising smell of toffee and leafy hops. Blended taste of caramel, toffee, dough, and leafy hops. Moment of resinous bitterness to the ending. Pretty decent English bitter. (Hotel room, Nottingham 14.10.2022).

Delt med Rune på rom 301, Premier Inn Nottingham Arena. Mørk gylden. Klar. Høyt skum som daler sakte og etterlater teppelacing. Lett fruktig aroma. Smaken kjeks og tørket frukt. Balansert. Tørr bitter avslutning. Litt sedimenter i siste kvelling.

Many thanks for this Bottle Conditioned Beer to jacek Wigier (wineofdreams@gmail.com). Piwo ma gigantyczna piane jak slad na piasku wielkiej stopy. Trwala, niesamowicie, niespotykana pienistosc i trwalosc piany chyba w zadnym brytyjskim Ale. Pachnie wilgotna plecnia piwnica, workami raszlowymi z odlezalymi ziemniakami, w smaku kwaskowe, piwniczne, nuty drzewne (pewnie beczki debowe), orzechy ziemne, lekka slodowosc w tle przedojrzale banany ale i tak dominuje kwaskowa dzikosc. Dla mnie jazda w dobrym kierunku, niemal bez slodkosci zadnej. Tradycyjny i gozki finisz. Classic Bitter Ale. Polecam

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - amber like darK honey. Decent lacy head. Nose - toffee, Oatmeal, sulphur. Taste - less sulphur but still lurking. More hobnob. Palate - medium bodied with a crunchy texture. Dry, crunchy finish. Overall - taste better than nose. But not great.
