This mid-amber coloured bitter is brewed using hops from our continental cousins to give it a slightly more modern feel. American Willamette and Slovenian Bobek are genetically related to Fuggles, but have a more pronounced character, showing subtle fruit and citrus flavours as well as the usual earthy and spicy notes you'd expect in a bitter.

Cask at the Wild Boar, Warwick. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a thin white head. The aroma is malt, peachy tropical fruit. The flavour is moderate bitter sweet with a dry malt, yeasty, fruity light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask @ Molly House, Manchester. Golden with a small creamy head. Light easy-drinking session bitter with inoffensive malts and a low to medium bitterness.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 13/11/2014. Deep amber with a decent, off-white head. A touch of citrus hop, crisp, slightly biscuity malts and a decent, bitter finish. A pleasant all-rounder.
