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.

Cask at the Basketmakers’ Arms, Brighton, East Sussex, England on 23rd May 2009. A very pleasant session bitter, amber in colour with a head lasting at least three-quarters down the glass with some lacing. Malt and hop intermingle without domination by either to produce a bitter-sweet balance on a fairly smooth mouthfeel. Not an ale to go mad about, but if available on a warm summer evening give it a go - it’s a quencher.

Cask @ Bon Accord. Amber colour, off-white head. Faint aroma of caramel malts, not much else. Flavour has some caramel malts. Watery. Not much going on in this beer.
