On tap at Bittles Bar, pours a clear copper with a medium white head. Nose brings out lots of English hops and some light biscuity malt to balance. Flavour is refreshing, with a good balance of floral English hops, light bready toffee and tropical fruitiness. Refreshing and well-balanced. Very solid.

Bottle at home from asda. Aroma is earthy twiggy, woodland berries and burnt sugar. Flavour is composed of twiggy nutty malts, little dried fruit. Palate is medium light with moderate carbonation. Pretty ordinary.

Bottle: Clear, brassy gold, creamy, off-white head. Light barley malt, fruit nose. Very soft, malt taste.....not a great deal of flavour, but nothing unpleasant either. Ok, but not much to it.

Bardzo dobry bitter, Zroznicowany zwlaszcza zapachowo bo wyczuwa sie tu przynajmniej kilka odmian chmielu. Bursztynowy kolor i wielka slimakowa piana ktora odstaje ponad szklanice sporo. Smaczne gozkawe piwo, takie jak powinien smakowac dobry Bitter.
