The beer that started it all. Using 100% English Malt, with Bobek and Bramling Cross hops, this easy drinking best bitter is our tip of the hat to traditional British brewing.

Cask at Dirty Dicks, London. Pours dark gold with a lasting creamy off-white head. Aroma of fruit, flowers, hops and malt. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Medium body, slight creamy texture, soft carbonation. Hint of honey developing. Enjoyable.

Cask at Swan, Farnborough. Malty aroma with floral hints and some sour almost vinegar tones. Golden amber. Thin white head. Light bitter. Some surprising citrus notes. Malts. Light bodied. Thin but slick. Flat carb. Astringent finish. Decent enough. A bit more lively in terms of taste than I expected.

Cask at the Claret. It pours clear amber with a small off-white head. The aroma is brown bread, cereal, rivita, earth and toasted nut. The taste is bitter, grainy, toasted nut, earth, caramel, spicy, hay and wood with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Tastes a bit astringent after a while. A fairly basic bitter by any measure.

Gravity dispense at the 1st Runnymede Beer Festival - 08/09/12. Clear golden with no head. Sweet caramel, orange rind and a little faint whiff of grapefruit. Grapefruit also in the flavour, orange, citrus, light malt. Medium bodied with low carbonation leading to a dry finish. This beer grew on me, would like to try it on cask as opposed to the end of the day at a BF!

Cask at Ealing beer festival 2011. An amber/copper coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, fruity aroma. Tastes hoppy, fruity, malty and quite delicious. An excellent session ale which I will look out for again.

Cask, gravity dispensed, at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Poured bright copper with a ring of cream head; earthy malt aroma; tastes like liquified fruit cake, with rich fruity malts and some vinous raisins and cherries; the finish is lightly bitter. An excellent bitter - I’m impressed with this brewery.
