A session bitter and by far our most popular beer. Our secret recipe includes Cara malt, giving it a smooth flavour. The bitterness comes from the cascade hops.

Bottle. Clear amber beer with an odd looking head that dies away quickly leaving something that looks like detergent. suds. Low carbonation. Tired ale, flat and uninteresting. Some insipid hop. Boring and unpalatable.

Cask at the Crosse Keys, JDW. Clear gold pour with a medium, foamy white head. Faint aroma of toasted malts and grass. Flavor is lightly sweet with a big smoke character. Not dark and roasty, more like burning dry wood or something. Some nice, bitter notesd of earth and grass. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Nice duration smoke finish, toasty malts, lingering earth hops. Solid stuff here.
