I drank this at the brewery and this was one of my first English craft experiences that I remember. I bought a couple of bottles back to the US and although it not my favorite beer I have a craving for it every now and then.
It had a good clarity, a great hop taste and a surprisingly clean bitter ending. Definately worth a visit.

Oct 17, 2009 Pours gold, pure white head. This is a decent bitter, grainy, cereal and unusually creamy, but not in the horribly artificial way that some bitters are, then a nice dry finish. Good.

Apr 16, 2009 Tried at the wheatsheaf under the hop exchange. Looks a touch ’unsettled’ more of a chill haze than anything but i don’t mind that at all. Oozes with fresh citrus hop flavours and a firm malt presence lovely afternoon pint.

Nov 27, 2008 From cask at Thomsens. Pours clear and golden orange with a small dense and white head. Light spiced and roasted malty aroma. Flavour too is quite dominant on the malt flavours. Does hold a light bitterness and mild fruity accent. Finish is smooth roasted malty with a slowly building bitterness on the back of the tongue and into the far finish.
