One of our original and most popular beers. A light, copper beer with a balance between malt and hops, leaving a thirst-quenching aftertaste.

Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a slightly dark ruby with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s malts and caramel in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet but rather watery. Flavour is malts and caramel again but with hints of floral hops, toffee and spice as well. A little bitterness in the finish. This is reasonable but decidedly bland.

Bottle at home liberated from my Mother's house. Well chilled as its a crazily hot day, but it meant the sediment got stirred up. Oh well and anyway. Good bitter hops, bit of farmyard (which is always a favourite) and really smooth. Probably would have been better at the correct temperature, but not today. Anyway, back to the Lady's singles final.

Bottle from Booth's, Kendal. Chestnut coloured with a thin off-white head. Quite fizzy. It's a malt-led beer with a little chalk up front, some brown bread and a little caramel. It's fine but dull.

Fra cask på GBBF aug-19: klar mørkerød kobber med fint skum som varer helt ned. En slank, smaksrik og lettdrikkelig bitter med toner av barskog, urter, litt karamell og mørke bær. Soft and charming.
