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

Bottle, gift from Mum & Dad - cheers! Golden-amber with a vanishing white head and a slightly annoying fizz. Orange and lemon up front, a little caramel then it all goes a bit insipid before a granite finish with a chalky mouthfeel. A rather forgettable and sub-standard bitter.

Cask at the Shakespeare, Lower Temple St, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear medium amber with a thin white head. The aroma is light hop, some yeast notes. The flavour is moderate bitter with a woody hop, grainy malt, dry creamy medicinal yeast palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

On cask at the Olde Ship Inn in Seahouses. Appearance - golden amber with a decent head. Nose - light citrus and a bit grainy. Slight farmyard. Taste - more lemon and malt. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - solid if not that exciting m
