Bottle from Redh. Appearance - golden with a slightly off-white proportionate head. Nose - shortbread, light fudge and burnt sugar. Taste - burnt sugar, caramel and sweet malt. Palate - light to medium bodied, sweet middle and doesn't really clean on the finish. Overall - too sweet for the style.

Bottle at the Brighton Dome. Strange to see such a low rating. I thought this was a fabulous example of a great Sussex best bitter. I love this style. Sweet malts blending with bitter crunch and light hops. Wanted a few more but hey couldnt interrupt the brilliant Nish Kumar with a beer run
