24th Aug 2018; gravity poured half-pint at the 22nd Codsall Station Beer Festival. Really enjoyed this light amber ale with it's thin wispy topping. Nothing stood out in the aroma or tatse, it just felt right, lovely balance to it, a perfect English Bitter, not too sweet, not too bitter and NO CITRUS flavours!
