cask, hand-pulled in the Wellington, Birmingham; 25th January 2024, with Mat. Off-white crust on an amber body. Malty front to the nose and taste, not much hop action.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from the brewery taproom. Pours just faintly hazed rich honey-gold with a tight, creamy off-white cap. Moderate sweetness with a stiff leafy bitterness, some dry grass, toasted grains, bread crust. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Fairly dry in the finish, further sun-baked grains, biscuit, leaf and grass, a hint of dried citrus peel. Great stuff overall.

Hazy amber, frothy white head. Looks perfect. Aroma is malty with light hops, a little zesty and a nice malty base. This is just a really nice bitter which I always enjoy given there are so many identikit 6/10 ones out there.
