Can. Dark copper in colour, creamyish white head. Slightly herby hop nose with a caramel maltiness. Sweet and fruity flavours and a metallic edge with a decent bitter finish. Somewhat fizzy mouthfeel. There’s nothing wrong here; it’s a solid British bitter: uncomplicated and to the point, but lacks anything of real interest.

Bottle in London. Copper body with thin head. Fruity and spicy nose. Nice caramel and spicy tastes. A great beer that I will always return to.

Deep copper coloured pour with thin creamy head. Caramel and spices leads to hops, grain and malt. A bit thin but OK.
