Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
Changed from 3.6% to 3.8% in 2004.
This fine, golden coloured beer has a full flavour that lingers pleasantly on the palate. With a good bitter-sweet balance this beer has a robust hop character described as citrus and spicy. It’s a refreshing and very satisfying pint – noted for the aroma of its Fuggles and dry hopping strain Golding to add to its characteristic Theakston aroma.

Light yellow oclored, little yellow head. Lemony, soapy aroma with some berries and hoppy bitterness. Thin to medium bodied. Flavor starts with slight chocolate and fruits, aftertaste turns to finely bitter with still some chocolate. Well, good one, still slightly watery palate.

Thistle Hotel, Aberdeen, Scotland, 15.08.05, draught and very cold, but I drank it with dinner. The color is dark amber and the head has big bobbles. The aroma is hoppy with notes of caramel, and the flavour has notes of aroma hops, caramel and a bit of fruit. The bitterness is nice, and it’s an really OK Bitter.

Nitro-keg at the Waterton Park Hotel, Wakefield 22/08/2007. A golden colour with a floral aroma. Taste is floral with light citric undertones. Smooth to drink. A simple, easy-drinking bitter.

Cask at The Whitelocks Pub, Leeds. Pours a clear golden-orange with an average size lasting creamy white head. Nice lacing. Mild aroma of sweet malt, fruit and light hops. Slightly sweet, malty, fruity flavour with some light hops and a light bitter finish. Average bodied. Pretty good, I wish it was a bit hoppier but nevertheless it’s a good session beer.

Tasty session bitter - deep copper with small creamy head, light tangy hops, biscuity. Mouthfeel a little thin but smooth as silk - a good pint.
