A wonderfully balanced best bitter with good malty flavour and dark fruit notes, these are offset by a strong hop with a very clean finish. A great thirst quenching beer for any time of the day.

Cask at Exeter Arms, Derby Pours a mid-brown amber with a small white head and good lacing. Aroma of malts and nuts. However, in the mouth fruits dominate. Mainly sweet but with some bitterness, cherries and marzipan. A slightly bitter but fruity finish as well. This is nice – a much better bitter than their award winning Ay Up.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag O’Nails, Bristol 6/2/2017. Amber in colour with a slight, off-white, head. Malty beer, with some hedgerow fruit, leafy hops and a decent, bitter, finish. Good.
