Originally brewed as a mild with less hops than our other beers: we dropped the word Mild from its name almost immediately. A truly stunning beer that is often overlooked amongst our range.
A hoppy russet, bittersweet fruity beer with malty notes on the nose, accompanied by a biscuit and caramel finish on the palate.

Cask at the Monk’s Retreat, Reading. Deep amber with an off-white head and a light fizz- decent condition actually. Plum with a little sourness up front; rather dirty straw and a moderate bitterness to finish. Didn’t like the dirty straw.

Cask by hand-pump, half pint at York Tap. Creamy beige head resting over a dark brown coloured body. Spotty lacing down the glass. Malt-fruity aroma. Taste of caramel malts, earth and dark fruits with a little tartness beneath it all. Slightly roasted malts to the ending. Mild floury palate. Okay (York 10.07.2014).

Cask at O’Connells. Clear copper color, good off-white creamy head. Aroma has caramel and light earthy hops. Light-bodied. Caramel, leafy hops, even toffee. Lingering English bitterness in the aftertaste. Sweet, light and a bit hoppy.

Cask at the Victoria Inn, Rugby, 17/04/13. Dark amber/copper with a thin off white head that retains well. Good lacing ensues. Nose is dark malts, fruit, light toffee, a little thin overall. Taste comprises berry fruits, Ribena Lite, touch of hops, malt, caramel. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, bitterness in the finish. Drinkable but a safe bitter which doesn’t set my world on fire.

Cask at Wellington, Birmingham
Dark mahogany color, beautiful with its red shades. The aroma shows a suspicious light trace of apples. The flavor has some quite good dark caramel and roasted malts, with traces of apples too, and correct bitterness. I wonder about the bitterness, but it’s a pretty good Bitter.
