Bottle at home in Hackney - sourced from Waitrose. Pours clear copper with a small, foamy off-white head. Lightly toasted brown bread in the aroma, with touches of leaves and dried berries. Mellow sweetness in the flavour, with more brown bread, moderate leafy bitterness, hints of earth, English yeast, more berries. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Finishes with more simple brown bread, leaves and hints of grass, old leathery berries. Fine bitter.

Bottle from Megan.
This was poured into an English pint glass.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt orange/copper color with a sheet of a little white foamy head, just dissipated into oblivion. No lace.
The aroma had some damp grass, herbal qualities, light fruity esters, some floral hop qualities, pillowy caramel malts, some butterscotch, light biscuits and a touch of sweet wood.
The flavor presented that dried sweet malty arrangement of toast to caramel malts with a leather-sweet dryness. No aftertaste. Finish was quick and malty, semi-construed low hop bitterness.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a good sturdy sessionability about it. Low carbonation as it should be. ABV felt mostly as projected.
Overall, another really good Bitter by these guys, almost makes me want to move to the UK just to get the good Bitters.

Bottle at home. A very good English bitter and once again it is a complement. A very malty beer with a sweetness that is very well balanced with the bitter hops. A great dark colour and extrmely thirst quenching. I really did like that balance of malt and hops.
