The Brewery says this: Poppy Ale is a traditional, full-flavoured bitter in which we have used English Fuggles and Goldings hops to re-create a style of beer that was hugely popular 100 years ago. The bottled beer is 4.5% and the draught is 3.6%. My hand-pulled pint in The Crown, Oakengates on 4th Sep 2014 was a pleasant amber colour with a full and lasting white topping of tight foam. Malt lead in both the nose and taste with the hops blending in nicely to give a balanced and easy drinking traditional style bitter: I liked it.
