A well hopped, light golden session bitter with a distinctive, dry, refreshing taste enjoyed through a rich creamy head.
Brewed in traditional cast iron and copper vessels using the finest ingredients.

Cask-conditioned at the Plume of Feathers, Bristol. Amber coloured with a minimal head. Aroma had some fruitiness and floral hops. Flavour had some biscuity malt and a dry slightly hoppy finish. Ok.

[i] Cask at The Crown, Charlton-On-Otmoor 28-09-07 [/i] Poured amber in colour with small white head. A nice fruit beer, sweeter than I recall but with a nice hoppy flourish and dryness at the end, a tasty session beer, and another beer that I can’t believe that I’ve not rated before.

Half on cask. Dark golden coloured with brilliant clarity. Filmy white layer of foam. Fruity aroma. Light caramel in flavour with notes of dried fruit (apricot) and with a moderate bitter end. Well made beer (served at perfect temperature at the wonderful Harp pub in Covent Garden 18.09.2006).

Cask at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford One of my favourite session beers. Good resiny hops with biscuity malts and some fruit leads to a dry bitter hop finish that makes you want to take another sip. Good beer
