COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Occasional.
A strong form of Celtic. More body and more complex hopping make this our premium traditional bitter. Strong tasting and satisfying. Bramling Cross hops give a distinctive flavour.

haddonsman (1234) - Derby, Derbyshire, ENGLAND - AUG 22, 2006
Cask (handpump) at the Flowerpot, Derby. Bit of a letdown; muddled grainy malts, some citrus notes buried under gloppy caramac body.

goldtwins (4320) - Nesconset, New York, USA - JUN 20, 2006
Poured a slightly hazed golden color with a small off-white head. The aroma was sweet, malty and grainy with some caramel notes and a hint of citrus. Malty flavor that has a light citrus (fruit not hop) and then some caramel. Mild bitterness on the finish. Light to medium bodied.

UPDATED: FEB 12, 2006 Was not as bad as the rest of the Durham’s I have tried, this was actually good, a little sour, but good.

duff (5483) - St, Margarets, Greater London, ENGLAND - NOV 3, 2005
Cask@Twickenham beer Festival. Some old man aromas (shaving foam, hair cuttings). Mouthfeel is dusty, with slightly nutty malt and citric hops, quite earthy, but somethihng was missing here. it felt really empty. Short finish.
