COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular. Also available bottled.
A traditional amber coloured session beer with a difference. The strong flavour belies the relatively low alcohol content. A slightly spicy aroma comes from Goldings and Fuggles hops, with the bitterness from English Target.

harrisoni (10911) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - JUN 28, 2009

Cask gravity at 1st K&ES Railway BF 2009. Hazy copper colour, lasting thin beige head. A little syrupy and toffeeish. Maybe a little tight and not quite ready yet. It’s alright. It’s a slightly syrupy malty bitter. Some sparkle on the finish.
