The perfect balance of hops and barley. The beer the people named. From wood pannelled snugs with roaring fires to warm summer days in a garden next to a babbling brook. This is the beer that shaped modern England. Enjoy.Bottle and cask.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Offie and Toffee (Bethnal Green). Pours mostly clear orange-gold with a creamy, off-white head. Leafy hops in the nose, some toasted grains, phenolics, faint plastic. Light sweet flavour with more phenolic notes, more toasty grains, earth, wood, leaves, faint tobacco, grass. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Faintly astringent on the finish, with hints of plastic, more grains, husky and grassy bitterness, grainy and lightly toasted malts, hints of dried berries. So so overall.
