Our Original Hoppy Bitter. A slight elderflower aroma from Slovenian "Celeia" hops.
A great session bitter.

Gravity cask at the Bedford Beer Festival. Golden orange, clear with very little head. Grapefruit, honey, slightly medicinal aroma. Bittersweet taste with fresh citrus edges. Hints of grain and soap. Lingering bittersweet aftertaste. Very well made.

On cask at the Beer Hall. Appearance - middle toffee brown. Decent head. Nose - mild toffee and toast. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - a solid bitter but would like more biscuits.

Cask at the Brook House Inn, Boot, Cumbria. Pale amber with a moderate white head. Biscuit and caramel with a little vomit upfront which is somewhat redeemed by a leafy bitterness afterwards. Not one of my favourites though.

Aroma: Mild aroma of elderflower, earth and straw.
Appearance: Clear golden body with a thin off-white head that holds really well. Flat carbonation. Excellent lacing.
Taste: Fresh, grassy hop with biscuity, bready malt flavours. Nicely balanced with a bitter finish.
Palate: Medium body with an oily texture. Flat carbonation.
Overall: A tasty, sessionable Bitter from an excellent brewery.

From Cask at Ello’s party. Darkish orange colour with a minimal beige head. Nose of fragrant hop, fruits and caramel with similar traits displayed in the flavour. Soft and easy drinking. Decent dry bitter finish. Very sessionable bitter. Tidy.

Cask at Watford beer festival 2011, Herts. A golden/amber coloured pour with a small white head on top. Fruity, hoppy aroma. Tastes hoppy, fruity, bitter. It’s OK.
