The alcohol is a touch harsh, bitterness is very bitter it really clings to the mouth, a little burnt woodiness, some bittersweetness lemon and tropical flavours it's just a little harsh.

500ml bottle: BB 16th May 18. Drank at home on 23rd Oct 17, obtained from Beers of Europe. Nice amber/brown body with a full and lasting head. Decent blend with a good malty base which holds a little sweetness, the hops adding a fine bitterness. Easy drinking traditional English Bitter, liked it.

Cask at Hopmaster General, Rushden. Light to mid-gold, slightly hazy. A film of white head on top which leaves a fair bit of lacing. A light aroma with some kumquat and melon notes. There's some leafy hop flavour mid-sip, but the taste is malt-led, bittersweet and earthy. Light berry notes on the aftertaste. Fairly simple stuff, but it's in perfect condition which makes me appreciate it that little bit more.
