Originally brewed to commemorate the visit to the brewery of HRH The Prince of Wales in 2001 and available at that time mainly in pasteurised bottle. Reappeared, mainly in cask format, in 2008 to celebrate the brewery’s 150th anniversary (although sometimes badged without "Royal" in the name).

This is a strong English amber ale with a rich golden colour. Robust, hoppy aroma and full malty taste.

Smooth, soft & creamy. Heavy malt, digestive, caramel & roasted tastes with a tangy finish.

Skipton Beer Festival 2023. Golden-amber in colour. Hoppy brew with depth, with some caramels for flavour.

Cask gravity at Bricklayers Arms 2nd Annual Yorkshire BF 08. Amber with lasting beige head. Caramel, some red fruit, but fairly subtle. Nice condition in mouth. Very drinkable ESB. Has hints of the good stuff, but that may have been my cold affecting my taste buds.

Nose of fresh bread, yeast, chalk, some (English) hops. Coulour: light orange, lacy head. Taste: quite (English) hopbitter - GOOD - hops becoming more and more outspoken till very bitter; there is however very definitely underlying malt and even caramel for balance. Quite chewy and savoury mouthfeel, amazing for such a light beer; English ale at its best. No new aftertaste, bitterness fades ever so slowly away. Worthy of the Landlord people, Britains'' all-time best cask. I love this beer, and am amazed at some of the other comments.

Amber colour, firm head. Citrusy, aroamntic nose. Densely malty, really dry and bitter. A full flavoured and very balanced strongish ale.
