A wholesome best bitter designed to be true to this iconic beer style, with only a few respectful tweaks. Expect biscuit and caramel flavours from our malts, balanced by English hops with grassy, herbal and citrus notes and refreshing bitterness. Everything is lifted by just a touch of Cascade in the dry-hop.

Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a clear light copper colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt and caramel. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a smooth, toffee caramel, sweet malt, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

16 oz nitro can poured hard. Fun style to run into in my local, so I've been looking forward to this one. Clean and shiny golden amber appearance after the nitro silk settles. Cream foam head that lasts. Bready, biscuit grains on aroma and flavor, with a soft spicy note on the flavor side. A somewhat dry and dusty finish, but this remains refreshing. Late palate caramel notes. Cool but mild hop content. Long lingering bran and bready grains. Tasty.

Hard Pour can. Thick creamy head stayed on a clear copper coloured body. Sweet, malt & caramel aroma. Medium bodied, smooth soft & prickly on the cloying back. Sweet malts, caramel, berries biscuit tastes with a tangy bitter finish. Has the feel of a keg bitter - Good one.
