Maris Otter malted barley from Fawcett's. Crystal malt added for the caramel-toffee flavour. A small quantity of black malt for hints of burnt coffee. Hops – Fuggles and East Kent Goldings – Both hops traditional English hops with superb flavour associated with traditional ale in England. A well-balanced beer for the traditional English bitter drinker. International Bitterness Units - 35

Handpull cask at the brewpub, Barnsley. Chestnut brown with a strong reddish hue, clear with s thick beige head. Light nutty aroma, some berry and stone fruit in the background. Sweet taste with a gorgeous little malty character, dipping into an almost sour woody character in the finish. It’s a lovely little biter but fails to quite hit the heights of the best examples of the style.

1st Sep 2019, hand-pulled half-pint in the Lion & Key, Hull. Almost ruby red in colour, creamy off-white foam on top. Malty lead to the aroma and taste with some hop action for balance and bitterness, some hedgerow fruity notes in there too.
