The brewery’s flagship beer. Well rounded, ruby red ale with a distinctive, tight creamy head. A good balance of malt, hops and bitterness.

Re - rating on 02.01.15 at Old Well in Barnard Castle. Nice marzipan note coming through. Good complexity so deserves an uprate. Previous rating on 11.02.12 =6+4+6+3+12=3.1 On cask @ the Haymarket. Pours a dark amber with a nicely proportioned head. The nose has apples, toffee and a backbone of biscuits. The taste is more grapes and biscuits. The palate is medium bodied with a creamy texture and a relatively refreshing finish. Overall, a decent bitter.

Cask at The White Hart, Nicholson’s, London. Pours clear, red-gold with a fine, creamy white head. Tangy leaves in the nose. Light sweet flavor, some toasty dough, plenty of citric and leafy bitterness, light grass. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Surprsingly sturdy bitterness to finish, with more bready, doughy malts, lots of tangy leaves. Tastes kind of cheap, and it really doesn’t bring me much joy to drink this beer.

From cask at Charlies. Pours, well ruby red and clear. Light tan head. Vague malty towards nutty aroma. Semi sweet malty flavour wit a light acidity and increasing bitterness towards the finish. Light fruity acidity and bitterness into the finish.
