Cask; Regular.
It is a dark amber pleasantly hoppy and malty bitter. Just Like Hammerite it does what it says on the tin!

Cask @ Hillsborough Hotel, Sheffield.
Pours fine chestnut brown with a nice, medium, creamy, white head. Aroma has mild caramel, a touch of butter, some grassy hops. Low carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, some caramel. Rather grassy, okay bitterness.

DanielBrown (3167) - Birmingham (via Leicester), West Midlands, ENGLAND - APR 1, 2012
Hand pulled at the Hillsborough Hotel, AKA The Hillsborough, Sheffield. Last ever barrel of this one, following the brewery’s bankruptcy. Really pleasant cocoa infused bitter. Soft, nutty taste. A sad experience, but a nice one also. Good trad bitter.

On tap at Hillsborough Hotel, pours murky golden. Muddy malts, English hops and floral notes dominate this one. Alright bitter.

Matts_Property (831) - Vancouver, British Columbia, CANADA - APR 3, 2011
On tap, pours a dark amber/orange/brown with a dense creamy head. Aroma and taste of muddy malts and English hops. Smooth and malty, but could have done with more flavour, in my opinion.
