A beer that’s as Original today as it was in 1807, when Daniel Thwaites himself began brewing. A clean dry tasting and refreshing session bitter with a glowing amber appearance. Brewed using premium grade Maris Otter malt and a blend of traditional English Hops including Goldings and Fuggles to give a malty flavoured beer with a delicate dry finish.

Cask. A nut brown to amber colour with small off-white head. Aroma and flavour are both quite standard bittery by all means. Clean and nothing all too exciting.

(Cask at Bree Louise, Euston, London, 16 Apr 2009) Pale amber colour with frothy, white head. Malty, nutty nose with notes of butter, toffee, bread and hints of sulphur. Malty, nutty taste with butterscotch, butter and dusty hops. Fairly low bitterness, thin body. Not sure about the shape of this one, probably worth a new try.
