Late Hopped Traditional Bitter. This bottle conditioned ale portrays all that is best about the traditional British bitter - hoppy bitterness on the palate and the nose is married with the full body of the beer. If Maris Otter malt is the body of our beer then hops are its spirit. Each year we choose our hops not just by farm but by individual garden and time of harvest. Hop variety Challenger is used as unprocessed whole leaf hops. Extravagant, perhaps, but delicious.

Pours deep amber into an English pint. Fluffy off-white conglomerate head leaves seafoam lacing. Smooth and crisp with front to back caramel and a lasting hop finish.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 7 Oct) Golden yellow colour with small white head. Malty nose with fruity notes of citrus. Fruity taste with citrus, mandarin, apricots. Bready, dry finish with grassy hops. Enjoyable, but hardly exciting.

A hazy orange beer with a huge off-white head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity with notes of oranges and peaches, but also some hints of metal - and the flavor is pretty much like the aroma, but the body is somewhat thin, no wonder at 4% ABV.

Golden color. Strange aroma, honey and paper.Thin body, metallic, quite bitter but not a Bitter; lemony finish. Odd.
