Gamekeeper has all the traditional traits of a Yorkshire Best Bitter with a modern edge. Rich copper in colour with malty and slightly biscuity flavours; Magnum hops give a subtle hoppy finish. After a long day on the moors, this is just the job! (aka Coverdale Game Keeper)

Bottle that Dad got from Campbell's of Leyburn and shared - cheers! Amber-brown with a white head and a moderate fizz. Malty, nutty and earthy with a moderate bitterness to finish. Decent bitter.

Cask at Crown Inn, Manfield, N. Yorkshire. Hazy pale brown. Spicy hops covers mild milk chocolate. Light-medium bodied with soft, vital mouthfeel. Freshly hoppy with plenty of depth in the malt department. Mildly roasty with long balanced bitterness. Lovely drinkability.

Bottle. Light caramel malt and light hops aroma. Clear medium amber color with minimal head. Sweet toffee malt and medium citric hops flavor. Finishes a bit light. An easy drinking beer but on the light side.
