Much like our northern roots, this cask bitter is full of character with light caramel and malty notes that develop into a solid base with punchy, earthy hops. Biting bitterness from the carefully selected English hops is balanced out by the best English pale ale malt and a gentle carbonation to leave a silky-smooth finish.
Quenchingly good, this is a proper bitter beer.

Cask at Old Monkey, Manchester. Nil aroma. Golden brown, but without the satisfaction of heroin. Creamy but blotchy white head. Bitterness is struggling to come through like some shitty seance. Although has more in the finish when it gets a citrus edge. Light-medium bodied. Long low key finish. Old Trev gets this served to him as soon as he walks into his local. One of those bitters to down without worrying what it tastes like.

A proper pint of old school bitter. Clear amber with a frothy/creamy off-white head. Soft fruit and malt on the nose, smooth and semi-creamy with a fruity malty taste and a kick of bitterness

Cask at the Hare and Hounds, Manchester on 29th September 2016. Crystal clear copper with creamy white foam and partial lacing. Rich malty aroma. Biscuit malt and fruitiness in-mouth. A sweetish, malty finish. A pleasant, quenching pint.

Pint at Winters Stockport. Slight malt aroma. Flat bronze beer with solid white head. Watery mouthfeel with hoppy bitter finish. More bitter than regional rivals. Not bad.
