Shortlisted for the "Campaign for Real Ale Champion Beer of Great Britain" a pint of this amber coloured bitter is just packed with those fresh flowery aromas that only American Mounthood hops can achieve.
The more traditional English Fuggles and Golding hops add the required balance to this 'best bitter' whilst the underlying caramel flavours are achieved using a blend of Marris Otter, crystal and roast malts.

Gravity dispense at the Happy Man Autumn BF, Englefield Green, 11/10/13. Lightly hazed golden amber with little in the way of head. Nose is caramel, floral hops, fruity punch. Taste comprises edlerflower, strawberries, lgiht hop presence, toasted malts. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. So so.

Guest cask at the Oakdale Arms, London N4 on 25th June 2009. Crystal-clear amber coloured bitter with an off white head that dies fairly quickly in the glass. Complex hoppy aroma, akin to Woodfordes "Wherry" with herb, grass and perfume notes prevalent. Kick flavour is less intense, but the aromas last through until a medium duration dry finish on a smooth mouthfeel. Rather pleasant.
