A copper coloured best bitter, traditionally brewed using only the finest quality of Stonehenge Spring Water, barley, crystal and wheat malts, whole hops and the brewery’s own top-fermenting yeast. This session beer is medium bodied with plenty of flavour in the aftertaste and is very noticeably malty, fruity and hoppy.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Deep clear amber color, not much head. Aroma has light caramel and calvados kind of fruityness. Fruity flavor has apples and cardboard. Some sticky notes in the aftertaste. A bit watery. Hopped light cider? :)

Cask Conditioned at Market Porter, London
Amber color. Good round caramel brew, with a cookie touch (but also a very light apple note that is out of place). Good.

Cask at GBBF 2006. A dark orange beer with a beige head. The aroma is slightly sweet with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with floral hoppy notes combined with notes of caramel and malt, leading to a dry bitter end.

Cask. Clear, copper-colored beer with white head-like bubbles on top. Vaguely roasted aroma with malt and caramel. The flavor is more fruity, with malt and some caramel too. Mellow, medium body. Nice one. (060710)
