Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Also available bottle conditioned.
Still enjoying a national reputation for strength, character and flavour. A deceptively smooth beer with a sweet malt taste. A lingering hoppy finish rounds off this strong and mellow formidable fellow just perfectly. Do not be fooled, the smoother they are the more respect they deserve.
Ingredients: Pale malt, crystal malt, wheat malt. Progress, Challenger and Styrian Goldings hops.

Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Hazed amber with white head. Pretty basic bitter, however i think it was a little tired, there was a sharp yeastiness, old ale type flavour. Malty, fruity and a touch sweet.

Bottled. Pours clear gold to murky amber, depending how much yeast wriggles into the glass. Creamy suds and mouthfeel. Juicy hop fruitiness in the snout. Hoppily fruity and bitter, with an almost guezey fustiness. Earthy and sourish. Feels homemade, but pretty good.
