Strong, refreshing full of body, and dangerous if abused. Yellow in colour, but not in heart, this beer weighs all that is good in the tradition of strong English ale.

Sampled @ GBBF. Clear golden color, average sized white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, a bit grainy, decently bitter. Not very special but a decent beer. Average body and carbonation.

Cask at GBBF ’14, day 4, 15/08/14. Clear golden amber with a well appointed off white cap that retains. Nose is bready, fruit, grain. Taste comprises malty notes, bread dough, light citric fruit. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. So so, a little muted and expressionless.
