(Bottle) Amber colour with frothy tan head. Malty, fruity nose with toast, apricots, caramel, orange blossom and herbs. Malty, fruity taste with notes of caramel, apricots, toast, orange, a touch of chocolate and a generous floral/herbal bitterness in the finish. Medium body, dry. Tasty and well balanced bitter. Quite nice.

Cask @ Stackhouse, Hornsea after cycling the Hornsea rail trail with Soph. Nicely fresh malty Yorkshire best better.. good underlying marmaladey fruit with a gentle bitterness. Comes together well.

Cask-conditioned at the brewery's tap room, Acaster Malbis 28/6/2019. Amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. An easy-drinking bitter,with a malty edge and lingering bitter finish. Fine.

Nice tasty bitter. I prefer my bitter from a bottle. Some carbonation helps a lot. Nice dark color with a fine head. Decent intensity in the aroma. Bready, toffee and herbal flavor.
