Our staple bitter and best seller. This smooth Kentish style tawny session bitter provides a pleasing balance of Larkins hops, malt and with a surprisingly plentiful character for a beer of such low ABV. An entirely sensible drink and a staple of the house beer pump in all the best local houses.

Cask handpull at The Beacon, Tunbridge Wells. Iโve had this a couple of times now and am still surprised by it. Copper colour with lasting off white head. The amount of flavour in this belies the 3.4% ABV. The tangy citrus hop on the end is excellent. Could drink pints of the stuff. Easy drinking session bitter but with intense hops that arenโt let down by the malt base.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] A brown beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of brewmash and caramel leading to a dry bitter finish.
