This golden coloured best bitter is a long standing seasonal special and for good reason... A rich hoppy aroma, subtle fruit flavours and well crafted, clean bitter finish imparted by four varieties of German hops ensure drinkers come back to the beer again and again! Available - Autumn.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol 18/9/08. Deep gold in colour with a decent, white head. Sweetish aroma with some apricots, floral hops and a touch of citrus. Easy drinking with a whiff of caramel, summer fruit and a decent bitter finish. Very drinkable.

Cask. Golden colour, small white head, lacing. Aroma is honey, wood and some mild notes of bready- and fruityness. Flavour is fruits, wood and some yeast. Rather pleasant, though not too special in the flavour.

Cask gravity at Nottingham BF 2007. Gold, very carbonated, definitely lagery, some tangeriney hop on aroma. Actually it’s very good. First beer on Saturday at 10.25, very light and drinkable.
