A standard tasting bitter, on pump at the full moon in newcastle-under-lyme. Nothing exceptional, slightly malty and hoppy.

ante (3374) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - OCT 22, 2005
(Cask-conditioned at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, Sweden) Dark golden/copper colour, small creamy white head. Light acidity in aroma of green apples and rubber. Malty and slightly hoppy flavour of sour apples. Is it supposed to taste like this?. Not in good condition, I guess.

fiulijn (12200) - Malmö, DENMARK - OCT 14, 2005
Cask Conditioned
Amber color. Quite nice hoppy aroma. Malty, good hop, well bitter but less biting than the Premier Bitter tasted side-to-side.

Spiesy (2338) - Sydney, Greater London, AUSTRALIA - OCT 16, 2004
Cask Conditioned, at the Penderels Oak, Holborn, London.
Golden with a fine white head. SFA aroma and flavour. Rather poor effort really.

Hbie (133) - Essex, ENGLAND - AUG 27, 2004
UPDATED: SEP 8, 2004 Cask. In fine condition. Amber with white head. Clean hoppy flavour with that distinctive Moorhouse dry twang with bitterness at the end. An interesting brew worth trying. This beer changed after 2 days, it lost most of its bitterness and tasted much sweeter, still pleasant. So initially a hoppy bitter beer becoming sweeter the longer it is served. This is fairly unusual as beers tend to become less sweet but probably explains some of the other comments about lack of hops.

Cask@Dartford BF. Grapeskins in the start, then apples, then some bready dryness, salty hops, with a bitter finish.

chriso (7254) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 15, 2004
Beer #33 at Dartford Beer Festival with Silk Tork and Duff. Copper colour. Mainly fruity. Could do with more hop bite in my view. Finishes dry, but soft. A pleasant enough, but unassuming best bitter. Cask (gravity).

Bright bottled at Dartford fest. Fruity bitter with a dry dusty finish. Refreshing. Pleasant. Decent quality. Flavoursome.
