This helped me survive the week camping in Coniston while carring out my university dissertation on the coppermines up there. Wow, what a beer. Not liked it before when it has travelled a long way in cask - but at the home in consiton - its a difficult one to beat!

This was a beautifully balanced, flavoursome beer. I had the pleasure of sampling this from the brewery in Coniston and again in Ambleside. Hoppy and rich, yet easy to drink.

I love this beer. Golden coloured and hoppy on the palate, and a real good session bitter. I drank more than a few pints of this and no hangover in the morning!

Classy English quaffing ale, Sharp, flavoursome and moreish. Made for a thirst.

Cask Conditioned at The Black Bull, Coniston, Cumbria. Light Golden amber with full head. Particularly hoppy spicy session bitter, refreshing and understated. Nicely balanced maltiness with a fresh barley note. An outstanding bitter.
