First brewed to mark the Fens Pageant in 1994, the recipe was used to mark the Bi-centenary of the North Brink Brewery. It is now a permanently available brew with an abv of 4.3%. Brewed with well-roasted malts & generous amounts of English hops, for a satisfying finish. The use of Wheat malt as well as finest Pale maris Otter malt results in a full rich malty flavour. Challenger hops give good depth to the bitter finish of the beer.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Dark ruby/mahogany colour with frothy beige head. Malty nose with dark fruit, notes of wild berries and a dash of earthy hops. Malty taste with berries, dark fruit, raspberries and caramel. Pleasant dose of earthy hops in a fairly dry finish. Soft, rounded mouthfeel, some bitter-sweet notes, but mainly dry. Not really adventurous, but very tasty and with amazing balance. Seriously sessionable.

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2004] A light brown beer with a small off-white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel, while the flavor is sweet roasted with a bitter end, from some weird hop sort.
