An unyieldingly traditional English-style bitter. Floral, herbal and tea-like aromas on the nose. A slight malt sweetness with hints of fruit and toffee on the palate. Brewed with Maris Otter malt. Hopped with East Kent Golding, Fuggle and Cascade.

Pint from cask at the Brick Store. Pours a dark, reddish brown color, with a nice, fine, creamy, beige head. The nose is brown bread, caraway, mild juniper, marigold, and hay. Sweet and malty, with a mild, smooth bitterness. Light, foamy, and smooth. Quality and easy.
