COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular.
2011 saw the introduction of our IPA, which has proved to be very popular in both Free Trade and the selected Joseph Holt pubs that stock it. Our IPA is a very pale, traditional, English ale with relatively high bitterness and a fragrant hop aroma. It is brewed with traditional East Kent Goldings and Slovenian Styrian Goldings.

burgess1984 (49) - ENGLAND - APR 23, 2012
Malty aroma with hints of hop. Watery but finishes nice and bitter. Small white head that stayed until the bottom. For £1.97 a pint this isn’t bad. nothing standout but a great summer drink.

dogbomb (282) - ENGLAND - APR 19, 2012
Cask. Pale gold body with a steady cream head. Hoppy nose, lemons and lime. Thin in the mouth, but plenty of bitters. Lemon, lime, a hint of tangerine. Some heady malty backbone, keeping this drinkable. The malt helps keep the palate steady. Petering out into a wheat finish with a bitter tang.

maeib (6637) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - MAY 23, 2011
Cask conditioned handpump Basketmakers Arms Brighton. A golden beer which poured with no head. A fairly sweet light bitter. A bit of citricity in there and some toffee. A light easy drinker but a total misnomer.
