Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
A traditional delicious Cornish ale, brewed with the finest malts and choicest hops. Tinners has a light refreshing flavour with only a hint of bitterness, ideal for revitalising the palate when drunk with a curry, chilli or spicy Italian lasagne.

Cask handpull at JDW, Folkestone. Classic session bitter, with some malt, hop and yeast character. Cracking condition. Yes, it’s not a whole lot of flavour or too exciting, but what it does, it does well.

Cask conditioned - handpump - JDW Northampton. A light amber coloured beer with a white head and lacing. The aroma has ditchwater and hidden fruit. Scant malts and fruit in the mouth. Pretty ordinary but probably not in the best form.

Cask at Spoons, Milton Keynes. Reddish amber with a white head. Not a great aroma: reminiscent of vinegar. Taste had some sour fruit and a reasonable biscuity background. Slight bitterness.

Cask-conditioned at the Mad Bishop & Bear, Paddington Station 2/7/08. deep gold in colour with a slight white head. Slight biscuit malt aroma. Easy drinking with plenty of bitter flavour and a touch of dry hop. Ok.
