An impressive golden straw coloured medium bodied ale, brewed using the finest English Maris Otter malts and choicest Fuggles giving a distinctive and assertive hop character, balanced with a fruity palate and a malty finish. Dangerously drinkable.

Cask at GBBF 2006, CBoB entry cask. An orange beer with a bubbly yellow head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of hops. The flavor is sweet malty with nice bitter hoppy end. A good end - but too simple. And the body is thin.
