Pale amber coloured. Loads of hay aroma in the nose. Flowery aroma. Nice, firm malty body, balanced bitterness. This is the sort of ale when you start to wonder if it’s even possible to make it taste better. Joeh (1908), Buckinghamshire, England

Good, uncompromising bitterness, slightly yeasty. Low carbonation, but very drinkable. Good mouthfeel, comes off as if it has more alcohol than the 4.0% the coaster says.
