Bottle from Budgens Islington. Mid brown amber with lasting cream head. A malty best bitter with some hop on the finish, hedgerow hop. Like the rest of the Moncada beers, it’s solidly put together. It’s a well known style, but done well. Good pepper hop on the finish. Very drinkable. Malt has a bit of good character and touch of sweetness without being overly caramel or toffee. I like it.
