A deep bronze coloured, rich tasting country ale. The scarce Kent grown Epic and classic Fuggles varieties provide a smooth, delicate spicy finish.

(Cask at River Ale House, Greenwich, London, 18 July 2026) Deep bronze colour with foamy, tan head. Malty nose with notes of dark bread, dried fruit, caramel and a mild coffee aroma. Malty, fruity taste with dark bread, dried fruit, apricots, coffee and a balanced spicy/earthy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, quite dry. Solid and well made bitter. Very nice.

Cask gravity at The Lifeboat Margate. Lovely proper brown best bitter. Excellent. Lovely hop flavours from hedgerow fruits and a healthy dollop of English earthiness. Top drawer English bitter. Just adorable
