The colour of burnished copper, with a markedly bitter finish from the generous use of Goldings and Progress hops. Flavoursome English pale malt is blended with speciality Belgian malt to add balance and a smooth finish, which lasts and lasts. Full-bodied, yet with an ease of drinking which belies its strength.

Cask at the Merchants Inn, Rugby, 03/04/13. Very lightly hazed golden with a decent sized off white head. Nose carries notes of grain, pale malt, orange, sugars, caramel. Taste comprises caramel malt, bread dough, light citrus notes, orange twang. Medium bodied with a little oomph, soft carbonation, dry finish with a trace of booze. A respectable enough ESB.

29th May 2008. Smooth and fairly flat ale. Repressed fruit balances finely with the malt. Okay but would not want loads.

Cask, Gravity at Banbury Beer Festival, Oxon, 08-05-09 Pours mid amber with a white bubbly head, its in very good nick, really clear, looks great. Aroma is pure ’Chivers Old English Thick Cut Marmalade’ Taste is more of the same though a little thinner, alcohol is also present on the nose. Very fruity but good sweetness throughout, nice stuff.
