Aroma is minimal, grassy a caramelness off the malts. Taste is balanced easy going, not to much happening but nice with a pork pie and english mustard.

First tasted this in the Bull Inn, Paisley in February 1997. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear amber in colour with a thin white head. Slight dusty note in the light floral aroma. Thin mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malt base gives a digestive biscuit base with a hint of sweet tart redcurrant fruit. Astringent hop resins leaves a bitter metallic tang to the dry aftertaste. Bittersweet finish with a dry hoppy edge. An ok session bitter.

Real nice, but a little like most of the bitters that are not annoying. A little squashy sometimes, but nice in flavor.
