Deep copper coloured, strong bitter. Packed full of malty character and dry, lingering hoppy finish. Not too sweet as some stronger ales are.

Cask. A hazy amber beer with a dense off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and nuts. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of nuts as well as medium notes of citrus, leading to a dry nutty finish. The mouthfeel is quite sparkling for a cask ale.

Bottle that dad picked up from Congleton brewery tap (cheers dad), consumed Dinmore, Herefordshire 27-12-09 Pours warm gold with white head. The nose is a little soapy hops. There is some citrus in the mouth, its pleasantly bitter and another step up from the Barnsley beers that we’ve just had. A6 A4 F7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Cask handpull at Thomas Rigby, Liverpool. Pale chestnut colour with lasting beige head. Bit of sickly malt on aroma, but mostly rich strawberry/raspberry and malt aroma. Full in mouth with more strawberry, morphs into creamy hop finish. Hop is balancing and shows some lemon acids to do battle with the rich malt. Rich and hoppy premium bitter and rather stunning.
