A smooth, balanced bitter. Brewed with traditional English hop and malt varieties, Star is our take on the classic British bitter, with a modern approach to brewing technique & ingredient sourcing. Aromas of nuts and winter berries combine with biscuit, caramel malt notes for an ale with herbal freshness & pleasing bitter finish.

From Cask at The Barrel Vault (freakinโ spoons), 8 out of 10 beers served with a sparkler, at St Pancars International, London. Sweet aroma and taste of sweet pale malt, marmalade and biscuits. Well, well. Not everything can be saved by using sparklers. Very flat. Low bitterness.

A classic English bitter and I did like it. Biscuit, bitter hops, soft malt, low carbonation and a pleasant mouthfeel. There was also a surprising and welcome complexity to the beer and it was well integrated. Whatโs not to like?

Cask@Railway, Streatham Common, London (11/03/2017) - pours amber with a white head. Aroma and taste is toasted and sweet malty, some sweet caramel and toffee notes, slight peachy and apricot accents, twiggy and grassy hoppy into the finish.

500ml bottle. Clear, pale amber colour with average, thick, fairly lasting, minimally lacing, off-white head. Floral, minimally fruity, hoppy aroma, a cautious touch of peach. Taste is moderately bitter, slightly husky, floral hoppy overtones, cautious hints of peach.
