26/2/2022. Bottle shared with the ITFC boys at the Morecambe tasting. From Northumbrian Gifts. Pours clear pale golden orange with a frothy white head. Aroma of caramel, biscuit, malt, fruit, cooking chocolate. Moderate sweetness, medium plus earthy bitterness. Medium body, oily, average carbonation. Quite like a white stout. It’s okay.

Bottle. Cloudy golden beer with a strong white head. The aroma is smoothly hopped and bitter, and the flavour is bitter with toffee, hopped'ness and yeast. Overall a reasonable bitter. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

50cl bottle from a gift selection box. A perfectly Ok traditional English bitter. Amber in colour with a ring of white head; a light vegetable bitterness to start, and a caramel malt body. Full of flavour despite the low ABV.
