A beautifully balanced amber best bitter; winkle picker’s Maltiness offset by a firm but not overpowering bitterness and a delightful hint of orange delivers everything one could desire from a classic british bitter.

Cask at the Park Tavern,Eltham. Amber pour with a white head. Malts and hops dominate the nose. Bitterness and light fruit in the taste. Lots of bitter hops in the finish. Not bad.
