Bottled. Orangeish colour with reddish hints, mediumsized thick creamy off-white head. Aroma is flowery and fruity hops. Flavour cooked vegetables "malty" and hops in finish. Not that special. Refreshing and quite easy to drink.

Pours a light-hazed, coppery/brown with a creamy, cream-colored head. Mouthwateringly biscuit aroma with honey & rye, Fuggles, pepper and wooden notes. Flavor finds solid bitterness within a mid-bodied texture and a mouthfeel bordering on buttery. Malts add heartiness, but the focus remains on bitters with a peppery finish.

A brew with some very good qualities one would enjoy in a bitter. Pretty good, but just a bit too thin and metallic-tasting to join the ranks of the elite.

From a distinctive shaped 1pt. 9oz. brown bottle with a short blurb about the bitter and a best before date on the back label. Made a good appearance, poured a hazy copper with a nice foamy, bubbly topped pale tannish head that reduced to a sticky thin, bubbly lacing, moderate carbonation. Had a nice aroma, a buttery maltiness with some metallic malt notes, a nutty yeastiness, fruity, with a mild spice and peppery hoppiness. A smooth, semi-creamy medium bodied mouth feel, good drinkability. Had toasted, buttery malty taste, with a pear fruitiness, nutty, a mild hop bitterness and a sweet, bitter finish.

Thanks matta for sending this one. Pours with an enormous head. There is a lot more carbonation in this bitter than expected. Amber hued with a billowing, creamy head. Smells like a bakery. Lots of cookies, muffins, and fresh breads. Very dry, refreshing, and full of bitterness. Decent body. I bet it would be worlds better in a pub somewhere on the English countryside.
