COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular.
"Brewed to a recipe combining pale and crystal malts with choicest traditional ale hop varieties. The beer has a long, deep, bitter-sweet finish with fruit and hop notes, a strong ale which is distinctively hoppy."

Page 73 of Michael Jackson’s Great Beer Guide. Had this beer in Penzances and this beer is very drinkable, malty with a late bitterness and only 182 of MJ’s Classic 500 brews to go.

An easy drinking bitter which I’ve enjoyed on plenty of occasions. Aug 2012 - first pint on draught for quite a while. Didn’t enjoy it. Drying and sickly. I had been drinking all day though.
