Continuing our revival of brews from the archives for our 30th anniversary. A classic pale amber coloured bitter, hopped with Willamette. Well balanced and satisfying.

(Cask at Craft Beer Covent Garden, London, 14 July 2026) Golden colour with foamy, white head. Malty, hoppy nose with citrus, floral hops and crackers. Malty, fruity taste with notes of crackers, citrus, grapefruit peel, peaches and a balanced citric/floral bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Hoppy and refreshing. Nice one.
