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.

Clear amber beer with a white head and bitter smell. Really it’s just a traditional pint of bitter in every way. Which is fine, but it’s remarkable.

Bottle from Liquid Treasures, Belper, Derbyshire, Friday, 19th February 2016 had this at dad’s same day. Pours copper in colour with a sticky white head on top. Traditional in style with an earthy feel, a little orangeyness, carbonation is a bit too brisk, it’s a bit safe but it’s fine enough. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.2

Half pint, cask ale at Exeter Arms in Derby. Filmy layer at the top of a clear dark amber coloured body. Aroma of smooth juicy malts. Well blended malt-fruity flavours with a mild, but lingering, bitter touch to the ending. Nice and uncomplicated (22.02.2015).

Cask @ Flying Horse Hotel, Rochdale. Copper-amber with a red hue and a thick creamy head. Bitter in character with a lovely grain taste that lingers a short while in the palate.

Jan 2012: Walked into a newly refurbished pub with a new landlord and I spied this on a pumpclip: one hand pulled pint later and I’m reviewing the second pint! Dark copper, amberish colour, white head that clung to the glass like glue. The nose and taste were on the malty side, caramel and molasses but without too much sweetness, so more in the smell than in the taste. Hop content comes out in the flavours with a citrusy dry finish to each sip. OK without setting the world alight: good to see new micro-brews getting into my area, I normally have to travel to find new breweries beers.
