A well balanced copper-coloured best bitter with subtle hints of honey, spice and hedgerow fruits. Late added Pacific Gem hops deliver a fruity nose and finish.

Handpull cask at Wyvston's House, Leicester. Copper and clear.a nice big white head. The biscuity, nutty, toasty, honeyed malt is strong in the aroma, and there's also a light touch of juniper. Sweet initial taste with bitterness on the tail. A decent copper bitter.
