| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Oct 29, 2002 This beer left the most lace on my glass of any beer that I’ve ever had. Every little sip left a new ring, it was like counting tree rings to see how old the tree is. They say this is their flagship beer, probably so as I have been less than impressed with some of their other offerings. But this is the best English ale that I’ve ever had.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 23, 2003 The flagship bitter from one of the oldest micros in the business. Pale brown in colour, clean in taste. Slight malt flavour (not as malty as the brewery's tasting notes suggest) with hops dominating. Quite bitter, with a long finish. Well made and easy drinking. An excellent bitter. Draught, Civil Service Recreation Centre, London SW1, June 2003 (but don't miss the brewery tap - the Burton Bridge Inn in Burton, which sells all the brewery's products - if you ever get the chance.
