A traditionally brewed Best Bitter for modern times, with only the finest quality malts and whole cone English hops. Savour the malty notes of bread and biscuit, with hints of caramel and a delicate spice. Refreshing and quaffable, this is beer at its best.

Cask freebie from Jolly Judge. It pours clear brown with a thick, dense beige head. The aroma is earth, wood, cacao nibs, coffee grounds, earth and nut. The taste is drying, toothy, chewy, leafy, brown bread, wood, leather, tannin, twiggy, earthy and gravel with a drying finish. Average body and moderate cask carbonation. Nice condition, but rather twiggy.

Cask @Treefolk's (Rome). Ambrata limpida, schiuma bianca media. Al naso note di malto, biscotto, erbaceo, leggera ossidazione. In bocca è piuttosto amara, poco bilanciata, astringente, lunga e persistente. Corpo leggero, carbonazione soft. Non pulitissima e poco bilanciata, la beva ne risente.
