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.

A great British bitter - smooth, malty, hoppy. What more could you want out of a pint?

Handpulled at the Burton Bridge Inn, Burton, Staffordshire. Clear brown with scant white head, good crunchy bitterness, wonderful balance, a pleasure to try at the brewery tap.

Cask Conditioned at Charters Bar, Peterborough. Light amber beer, red hue, with everlasting head. A truly well balanced , refreshing bitter, with a smooth malty base, lightly caramalised then a peppery dry hop that lasts forever. Top notch beer.

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.

on cask at dba in ny of all places. hint of fig and compost in aroma, amber, hard and salty with a long and quite potent bitterness. slight hint of garbage juice suggesting this may not have survived its atlantic voyage completely unscathed but still very enjoyable
