An amber-coloured bitter, perfectly blended malt and hops makes this well-rounded beer balanced and refreshing.

Cask at the Heart Of Northumberland, Hexham, 15/05/2025.
Almost clear golden amber topped with a lasting off white head ... good lacing ensues.
Nose is biscuit, straw, stewed fruits, grains.
Taste comprises porridge, oats, biscuit, dull fruits.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close.
Passable twiggy affair but a lot better than the same beer in the nearby spoons that was in terrible condition @4.8.

Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Pours a clear amber-brown with moderate sized off white head. Aroma of brown bread, toffee, hay. Taste of biscuit, sweet malts, light caramel, cocoa dusting, straw. Moderate bitterness in the finish, light to medium bodied, fairly slick. Simple but effective, balanced, easy to drink bitter.

Pours a clear amber colour with a small frothy white head that quickly disappeared. Aroma is malty, toasted malt, light toffee and earthy hops. A moderately sweet taste, toast and biscuit malt with a moderate resiny bitterness.
