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.

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).

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 20 June) Colour is dark copper, with a foamy, lasting head. Nose is malty and fruity, with a nice character of dusty hops and sewage. Taste is malty and fruity, with the same dusty hop character and a long, balanced, bitter finish. Rather dry. Very nice and tasty regarding the low abv.

[Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm] Clear brownish amber. Very dry and butty with really light body. Bordering to feeling watery, but the malt manages to hold up, and the drybess makes it very drinkable. The finish has notes of tobacco and light grassy bitterness. A quaffer.
