Bottle conditioned from M&S. Overly lively pour - a quarter of the bottle was lost. Haxzy, dark amber colour with a massive frothy, off-white head. caramel malt and earthy hop aroma. Flavour was nutty with a dry hop finish. Ok.

Bottle (as Yorkshire Bitter, M&S): Hazy, deep amber coloured, mid-sized lasting rocky "dirty" head; toasted malty, fruity and slightly sourish nose with some traces of hops; sweetish-bitter flavour with a light acidity, light bodied; sourish-yeasty and bitter finish. Not great.......

[i] Bottle from M+S [/i] I hadn’t rated this at the time I picked it up a couple of weeks ago as I assumed that it was an alias of the Cropton Yorkshire Moors bitter see M+S thread on the forums. Poured amber with beige head, initial thoughts not great aroma sour, tainted, this came across in the taste as well just not my thing at all. It really seems like I was tasting a different beer entirely from the last two raters.

October 04 picked up a bottle from the New Inn pub close to the brewery, also have picked up a bottle since. Dark red in appearance, good level of bitterness, nice hoppy and fruity flavours come through pretty good.
