An easy drinking traditional copper coloured English ale. Roasted barley and cara malt give this a fruity taste and a pleasant citrus finish.

50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. An attractive copper coloured pour, with just the right amount of conditioning to give a cask-like pour with a ring of white head and with all the sediment remaining in the bottle; otherwise a straightforward malty bitter, with a fruity malt aroma; caramel malt body with some tasrt apple; and a smooth dry finish. Very drinkable.

Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours clear deep reddish brown with a medium white head. The aroma is malt - drive, brown bread, wood, cereal and toasted grain. The taste is bitter, wood, resin, pine, peppery spice, leather and earth with a very dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Good condition. A decent old - school bitter.
