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 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

Cask conditioned at The Mitre, Cambridge. Deep golden colour, low to none head. A decent session bitter, nothing wrong, nothing spectacular. Tolerably malty aroma and flavour with a decent hoppy finish.

Cask. Dark golden colour. Slightly astringent, but suting the beer. Full-bodied for its ABV. Slightly sweet. Probably a very good session beer.

Copper color. Nice grassy, earthy aroma. Smooth, salty, but maybe too simple body. The end is a bit watery.

An orange beer, slightly hazy, with a fine off-white head. It has a slight fruity aroma. The flavor is light; fruity, a little flowery, a little cask flat, and with a nice bitter end that lingers. The body is somewhat thin.

I’d had this at the Philharmonic in Liverpool and even the pub couldn’t save it. This re-rate in Edinburgh was more successful. Golden-amber. Nice spicy aroma. The character is mellow, lightly spicy, lightly caramelly. Good, with a subtle complexity.

Sampled cask conditioned at Shepherd's Inn, Melmerby, Cumbria.
Amber coloured. Light and fruity. Medium bitterness. Solid, but one-dimensional.
