Moorhouses have brewed a special ale inspired by a hop bitter recipe dating back to the 1800’s. The brew was an award winning ale brewed with a hop variety not used by Moorhouses for many years. The clip is based on the original bottle label and boasts two awards dating back two centuries.

A Mes rate. Cask handpull from Baker Street ’Sporks.
Clean gold with a thin white head and decent condition. Fruity and floral. Lots of citric notes and some decent pale malt underneath. Faint bitter finish with a strong lemony character. Very citric all round really. Run of the mill but very drinkable.

Excellent beer, hoppy without being too bitter, full of flavour and a beautiful colour. At a local in Bolton it’s on sale at only £1.50 a pint - can’t go wrong

(Cask at Penderel’s Oak JDW, Holborn, London, 15 Apr 2009) Pale copper colour with frothy, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of biscuity malt, citrus and grass. Fruity, malty taste with citrus and orange peel. Slightly soapy with a generous citrussy bitterness in a fresh finish. Starts sweet, but turns drier towards the end. Nice, fresh and tasty.
