A bright amber bitter, well attenuated to give a crisp, refreshingly dry taste. The late and dry-hopping with Golding hops ensures a pronounced citrus fruit flavour and aroma.

Cask at brewery. Light barley malt aroma. Clear amber color with moderate head. Lightly sweet barley malt flavor with a hint of hops. Light but a nice session beer.

Cask at NWAF 2009. An amber beer with no head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel, while the flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and nuts.

Cask, Caldy GC. Darkish brown colour with a medium creamy white head. Middling aroma with some malt evident. Standard traditional english bitter fayre really, which was just about drinkable but pretty bland on the whole.

Cask at GBBF 2009. Little bit disappointing. Some toffee in the flavour. No real hop, vague presence on the tingle in the tongue. I preferred the straight bitter.

Gravicask, one-third pint from the Brewery Bar, GBBF 09. Crystal clear amber body. Malty-fruity smell. Semi-sweet, earthy malts in flavour combined with resinous hops. Dry bitter aftertaste. Classic English bitter (Earls Court, 07.08.2009).
