30/4/2026. Bottle. Good pour. Aroma is malty, caramel, hedgerow, touch spiced. Medium sweetness with good balancing bitterness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Nice bittersweet and slightly spiced finish. Nicely drinkable.

Bitter grassy hoppy with notes of cereal, toasted bready malts, grain, soft cask carb, twiggy bitter hedgerow herbal hoppy into the close.

Cask at the Falcon (JDW), Wycombe. Amber with a white head. Nice full mouthfeel on this one, showing why cask is by far the best way to serve bitter. Caramel up front with a hint of lemon and some rustic straw. Blackberries come through too. A decent bitter, enjoyed it.

Cask handpull at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Clear brown amber colour lasting cream head. Mid malty brown bitter. Malty aroma. Light bitterness on the finish. It's a slightly non interesting brown bitter. OK.

Family gathering at my place on Saturday 23rd November 2024, shared a few beers with Andy (AndyTF2), this being one of them. 500ml bottle from Stan's: BBE March 2025. I like Welsh Bitter's, almost always malty and decent colour, this slotted right in. Clean amber in colour, and semi-sweet throughout, nice!

500ml bottle. Poured a clear medium amber colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is malt, nutty, woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, light toffee caramel, nutty, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Half-pint, gravicask, shared with Finn at The International Brewing & Cider Festival 2024. Bubbles on the surface of a clear dark amber body. Stewed fruity aromas with earthy malts, promising. Biscuit, earth and slightly jam-like fruit to the taste profile. Malt-fruity ending with distant bitterness. Decent. (Manchester, 23.03.2024).

Delt med Rune på The International Brewing & Cider Festival 2024, Manchester. Mørk stråfarget. Klar. Luftig filmskum med litt farge. Kjeksaroma. Smaken tørket frukt. Fin bitter avslutning.
