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.

500ml Bottle: poured into a UK pint sleeve on 7 Sep 2013. Amber and clean looking body, weak head of off-white bubbles that soon turned into a wisp and collar. Not overly impressed with this brew to be honest: bland and almost boring in nature. The nose and taste lean towards malts and the beer is moving along semi-sweet lines rather than bitter. It followed a bottle of Brain’s Original Bitter and it just wasn’t as good as the Welsh beer before it: in any category. A disappointment.

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.
