A superb strong Bitter with a complex palate consisting of a delightful hop character balanced by prominent maltiness.

500 ml bottle. Deep copper color with a small frothy beige head with clinging lace. Toasted malt nose has a sharp fruity character. Upfront, more fruity malt with notes of plums and Demerara sugar. Slightly spicy hops in midtaste. Finish is soft and dry. Pleasant and well balanced. A nice example of an English bitter.

Clear amber beer with a good creamy head. Light malt aroma. Tangy fruit taste but it doesn’t linger too long, settling into a bittersweet malt flavour. I wouldn’t want a lot of it but it’s nice.

Pint on tap at Palladium, Llandudno. Slight hop aroma. Ruby red beer with small tan head. Creamy mouthfeel with rich roasted malt notes. Finish is short and a little sour. It’s good!
