Bottle from Quality Save, Shipley. Clear reddish-brown with a thin head. Has a mild sweetness with a light berry-fruitiness. It’s more sugary in its nose in this respect.

Cask at the Scafell Hotel, Rossthwaite. Deep amber with a thick white head. Rich, smooth, fruity maltiness. Tasty, filling and satisfying, just what I wanted after a hard day on the fells. Good bitter, wish there were more malty ones like this around.
