Draught. For a bitter this is one of the best going. Its smooth and malty with perfect hopping.

On tap at theatre royale thin sightly watery body still a decent fruity malty base quite sweet but lacking something pleasant but not brilliant

Cask. A very good example of what a brown bitter can be. Not a style of beer that will ever be great but this beer demonstrates that with a little care care it can spawn something decent to drink.

Tasted this in the Esquire House, Glasgow (JDW) in May 2009. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear copper red in colour with a thin white creamy head. Faint metallic ferrous tang in the short aroma. Thin but juicy mouthfeel and good lacing. Mixed malts give a strong fruit base with watermelon, spangle fruits and golden syrup evident. Dry hop resins give a sharp metallic prickle in the short aftertaste. Finish is sweet yet dry with woody redcurrant notes. A decent session bitter and highly recommended..
