Fairly pale for a traditional bitter, with a moderate lasting white head. Intensely, almost unpleasantly bitter on the first taste; this does mellow with time to reveal dusty straw and citrus hops. Very clean and crisp-tasting for a bitter, but a little too bitter for my palatte I’m afraid. I can see why people like this, but for me there’s some much nicer examples of the genre around - Goffs White Knight, Adnams East Green Carbon Neutral and Hidden Pint spring to mind.

Aug 21, 2008 Cask. Weak grainy aroma. Good creamy flavour and mouthfeel. Almost clear copper colour. The flavour has a distinct bitterness, not rough. Mild fruitiness. Good standard bitter.

Aug 14, 2008 Another cask that I was able to have while I was in London. Pours a clear gold/amber with a white head. Malty aroma. A little sweet, nice malt flavor with just a little bit of bitterness. Not too shabby.

Aug 7, 2008 Cask. Golden amber coloured ale. Rich malty, creamy flavour with lovely hop background. Quite sweet with a little caramel thrown in there as well. One of the best bitters around.
