A mild brown bitter with a good balance of malt and hop character give a pleasing session drink. The finest pale ale malt (made from Maris Otter barley) is blended with torrified wheat, invert sugar and a small amount of roast barley, to ensure consistent colour.
Hops used are English Fuggles and challenger, a blend that gives a full hop character to the beer.

Handpull cask at the Grain & Hop Store, Cambridge. Light tawny brown with a little bit of white head and lots of lacing. Sour yeasty smell with raw nut and fresh toast. Sour/sweet interplay in the taste with an earthy bitter finish. Turpentine and horehound in the aftertaste. Not very convincing.

Gravity dispense at the Happy Man Spring BF, 14/03/14. Chestnut brown with moderate off white spotting. Nose is toffee, dark fruits, sugary sweet notes unusually so for a bitter. Taste comprises dark malt notes, toffee, dark fruit, brown bread, light sugar. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, semi drying close. So so.
