A classic copper-coloured kentish session bitter which perfectly captures the ruggedness of a whitstable native. Satisfying malt flavours complement the aromas of the county’s most famous hops – the Fuggle and the East Kent Golding.

Cask at the Cask Pub & Kitchen, London on 5th March 2010. Copper with initially lacing, but mostly diminishing, white head. Pungent, hoppy and bitter with some hints of fruitiness. Touch of tongue-citrus, then bitter finish. Pleasant.

Cask@The Whearsheaf. Clear amber color, small steady white head. Fresh hayish hoppy aroma, and I am not sure - maybe a glimpse of diacetyl. Hayish, dry, slightly sour flavor (cask is in condition but has just a bit sour feeling). Watery finish.

Clear amber body with no head. Light malty to the nose - but very poor on aroma. Flavour has got some hints of berries and a not too pleasant grainy bitterness in finish (Half on gravity dispense at The St Albans BF, 29.09.2006).
