330ml can. Clear gold with small white head, spotted retention. Aroma of pine, resinous hops, citrus and spice. Flavour is the same but you can really taste the different elements. Nice finish helped by a good bitterness and spiky mid-level carbonation. Slick medium body. Well brewed and enjoyable.

Pint of cask out the barrel at the Lytton Arms beer festival. This is a perfect and down the line bitter. All boxes ticked. Nothing special and nothing bad

Can from Asda. Clear deep golden body with an off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of wood, earth, berries and fruit cake. Flavour of earthy spice and brown bread. Thin to medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. This is an excellent example of the style, at a very good price.
