A well balanced tawny best bitter, it’s full bodied malty backbone is balanced by delicate citrus bites, not usually associated with English hops, and a clean bitter finish.

Handpull cask at the Christmas Steps, Bristol. Amber/light brown and clear with a film white head. Light malty scent with some wet wood, hay, dried grass. Simple clean taste, bittersweet with a slight lean toward a more bitter flavour in the finish. Nice enough but too simple to be a great beer.
