Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - October.
Brewed by our Head Brewer, Derek Lowe, and his team using only the materials that would have been available in Nelsons day, giving it a strong hoppy taste. At the time of the Battle of Trafalgar, seamen were issued with a gallon of beer per day, which must have made manning the yardarms a risky business.

A deep orange brown beer with a strong white head. A discreet hoppy aroma with a sweet liquorice touch. The flavour is of dry hop bitterness, although with a smooth finish. (Draught - The Bull Inn, Sonning, nr. Reading, Berkshire).

A little smooth, but bitter anyway. The picture is different, but it is the same beer. I like finding this type of beers.

Dark oak colour. Fruity, slightly vinous, aroma. Flavour is malty and fruity. the mouthfeel is soft and sweetish. Not the most assertive of beers, but quite pleasant. Cask (handpump), Joiners Arms, Bishopston, Wales.
