A malt forward Pale Ale with a great hop taste too. Lovely mouthful. Strikes me as more of a ordinary bitter than a pale. But a very good ordinary bitter.

Cask at CPK, Pimlico on 19th April 2025. Impenetrably black with tan foam and plenty of lacing. Rich and roasty aroma with cherry fruits and earthy spices. Grassy hoppiness, dark chocolate and pungent spices in-mouth. Hints of smoke. A lasting, complex finish of smoky roastiness and grassy hops. Full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Exquisite.

Cask at CPK, Pimlico on 19th April 2025. Clear copper with shallow, yellowy white foam and full lacing. Some pungent notes in a malty aroma. Hazelnut nuttiness in-mouth, some tangy fruits and a satisfying nutty malt finish. Smooth mouthfeel and a fair amount of body. Superb.
