Cask, Egremont Ferry, Wallasey. Darkish copper colour with a lingering creamy off white head. Nondescript slightly malty aroma. Flavour showed some hop and fruit to balance the prevailing maltiness. Pretty average bitter on the whole.

Bottle. (tasting at papsoeโ€™s) Clear, copper beer with a dense, off-white head. Malty, slightly roasted nose and flavor. The flavor has a vague but pleasant hoppy fruityness and bitterness as well, especially towards the finish. Medium, quite dry mouthfeel. A bit brown-ale-ish for a bitter, but a decent beer indeed.
