Quite pale colour. Intensely dry and bitter. May be a bit austere for some but an excellent session bitter in my book. Other Becketts beers have exhibited the same uncompromising bitterness. Could omhper have got a wrongly labelled beer as our comments don't match up at all? Handpump, The Speaker, Westminster, London SW1, March 2003.

Deep golden in colour. Sweet and medium bodied. The flavour is somewhat offputting buttery, and I’m afraid there’s not much else tastewise here. Low bitterness. This does not count as one of my favourite cak ales ever.
