Light copper colour with lasting head. It's a solid bitter with just a touch of floral hop and lightly nutty malts.

30/7/2021. Cask at the Redoubt Beer Festival, Harwich. Pours slightly hazy amber with a bubbly/frothy off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel, fruit, orange, marmalade. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Nice bitterness to finish. A better beer than it's average score, shame some apparently poor bottles from 2008 and 2012 got out to Scandinavia!
