A highly drinkable amber session bitter. The defined rounded flavours from a blend of crystal malts give way to the distinct characteristics of fuggles hops. Aromatic and satisfying.

Old rating from 27-04-15 - As Border Bitter, 500ml bottle brought from the brewery on my Wales road trip. Poured at home in Jersey, it's dark amber with a white foamy head. Aromas & tastes of caramel, berries, nuts, bread & malt. Medium body. Soft carbonation. Moderate bitter finish. Very enjoyable.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 2/8/2016. Amber in colour, with a decent, off-white, head. A touch of hedgerow hops, sweetish malts, berry fruits, and a moderately bitter finish. Good.

Half-pint, cask at Babington Arms (JDW), shared with Finn. A beige head blanketing the upper part of the glass. Bright amber coloured body. Bread, leaves and caramel nose. Flavour of dark dough and caramel. Notes of drying bitterness to the finish. Easy to drink. Satisfying (Derby 16.02.2016).
