Sessionable and light-hearted, leaving a subtle satisfying bitterness in its wake. Fragrant hoppy flavours redefine refreshment for this classic table beer.

Cask at The Royal Oak. It pours amber with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, fragrant, floral, dried fruits, brown bread, toffee, caramel and fruit cake. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, toasty grains, earthy, woody, leather, some pucker, light tannin, leather and some chewiness with a drying finish. Light+ body and moderate carbonation. Really well done.

Tweede Harvey's cask in de Calthorpe Arms. Vrijwel heldere licht koperen kleur met een kleine kraag. Aroma's: fruitig, ietsje bitter en ook hier weer iets gistig en/of kurkachtig. Smaakt lichtjes bitter. Lichte body. Afdronk is bitterig, inderdaad wat aards.
