Always listen to Mother! A traditional yet modern, essentially British Best Bitter. Mosaic hops add citrus, mango and an earthy pine bitterness to this malty caramel classic. A wonderfully versatile favourite.

On cask at the Stockbridge Tap. Appearance - golden amber with a nice fluffy head. Nose - apples and toffee. Light biscuit. Taste - more toffee and biscuit but sweet toffee dominates. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy texture. The finish is sweet but a little astringent at the same time. Overall - so so!
