A rich aroma of hops and malt develops a full texture in the mouth. It has a long, deep, bitter-sweet finish. Without doubt an exceptional best bitter.
Ingredients: Maris Otter pale malt. Challenger and East Kent Goldings hops.

Cask at the Old Road Tavern, Chippenham. Some lemon hops up front but increasingly dominated by caramel. Yup, too much caramel by the end.

(Cask at Kitty’s, 20160317) The beer poured deep amber and clear. Its head was small, white and it lasted long. Aroma had grass, earth and toffee. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were grass, honey, malts, toffee, sweetness and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet and bitter. A surprisingly sweet brew and therefore not my thing.
