A well-balanced session beer. Crisp hoppy bitterness with a late malty flavour coming through.

Bottle found in the Co-Op in Winterton on Sea. Reasonable pour with bitter hops on the nose. Malt, bitter hops and caramel on the nose. Not much depth and a bitnof cardboard. Really not great, but still drinkable.

500ml bottle from YouDrink. Amber gold colour, thin white foam head and aroma of toasted malt, grains. Taste is sweetish malty, bready, grain, molasses, toffee, caramel, fruity and with some earthy bitterness. Medium bodied, light carbonation, dry malty bitter finish. Quite OK

500ml bottle: BBE June 2023. Drank at home on 19th July 2022. Chestnut reddy brown colour, clean and clear, on top an off-white crown. Nose is slightly caramel and mildly fruity, taste similar, not unpleasant, but all a bit subdued and subtle within a fairly watery body depth, even for a Cooking Bitter at 3.8%.

Cask at the Townhouse, Ely. Golden brown, very clear, with not a lot of head. Grass and candy sugar aroma. Clean and crisp. The taste starts sweet and malty with hints of burnt sugar and golden syrup. There’s a bitter twist at the end, leading to a surprisingly bitter aftertaste, without quite leaving behind the malty sweetness. A cracking session bitter.
