Very hoppy for a UK bitter and it works - loads of flavour for a 3.4% beer. A perfect session beer for hopheads. An aside: I went to school in Felsted but back then I generally drank cheap vodka! fonefan (11890), VestJylland, Denmark

Fruity and herbal with some faint caramel from the malt and just a lick of hops. Sweetish finish. Had better from Felstar but it’s not offensive. Rune (2862), Tromsø, Norway

Clear amber color, no head. Woody hoppy aroma. Woody hoppy flavor. This is also a bit caramelly. Aftertaste is a bit on sweet side too. Decent body for 3.4% beer.
