A very brown best bitter, with dry malt tones, the kind of best bitter that’s hard to find these days due to the propensity for UK breweries to produce Brewers Gold/Hophead/JHB clones. Some dry malt/golden syrup/malt loaf, but not heavy either. A best bitter.

Sampled cask conditioned. Pale nut brown with a fairly rich head for being a cask ale. It is dry, nutty, clean and rather malty with a bitter finish. This is a really well made traditional bitter.
