Our best bitter (formerly Don’t Hop Me Now) was created to celebrate the Queens platinum jubilee. It proved to be so popular we decided to re-brand it and keep it as a regular brew.

Brewed with traditional hops, including Fuggles and Bramling Cross hops, is a refreshing bitter with a delicate hint of tangerine in the background.

Bottle from Webbs of Wychbold, Droitwich. Pours a light clear amber with small white top. Aroma of toasted malts and an earthy, grassy and light herbal hop. Slightly fusty in the taste, floral, earthy and a hint of blackcurrant. Light bodied, drying, refreshing. Its ok.

Cask at Raven, Crewe. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with a small off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – just hints of malts and caramel. In the mouth it is basically sweet, but with some strange gooseberry undertones. After a while a more conventional fruitiness comes through with herbal hints. Finish is somewhat earthy. A bit strange – but it WAS near the bottom of the barrel. Rerate required ?

Cask at the White Swan, Solihull. Poured a slightly hazy light amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, light yeast. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a smooth, somewhat light, malty, earthy, herbal, yeasty, light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Handpull cask at the Old Horse, Leicester. Brownish gold and clear with a film of off-white head and lots of lacing. Gummy caramel aroma with notes of orange peel.quiteearthy and dominated by malt. Sweet taste with massive malt notes, finishing on citrus tea with a light hop flourish. Quite good.

[Cask at the Alehouse, Reading.] A golden amber pour with a loose white top; crisp malty aroma with some apricot; fresh orchard fruit taste; then a gentle bitterness with a touch of spice from the hops; before a dry finish. A proper bitter, just the thing on the first day of an Indian Summer.
