COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular.
Described as "Teeside’s Favourite Pint" (not any more obviously).
180 years of brewing expertise has been combined with the finest ingredients to create this classic premium cask ale. The use of traditional Yorkshire Square fermenting vessels enables Imperial to get its unique character from not one but three yeasts. The result is a full bodied, 4.3% beer with a perfect balance for fruity and nutty flavours combined with a distinctive dry hop character.

RoyceH (1129) - Hesperange, LUXEMBOURG - SEP 12, 2005
Amber, nice appearance. Quite sweet, quite fruity, full and malty. All in all, a good round bitter.

Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JUN 24, 2005
[Cask at GBBF 2004] An amber beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, while the flavor is malty combined with notes of caramel, and the body is very thin. A boring beer.

TC2642 (265) - Worcester, Worcestershire, ENGLAND - OCT 27, 2004
On cask. I agree with jerohen, usual caramel notes, bit thin, blah blah blah. A mediocre bitter.

Inveigler (371) - Ferndale, Michigan, USA - MAY 13, 2003
Cask conditioned at Who'd Ha' Thought it, Rochester U.K.. Nice translucent amber color. Very weak hop character this is definitely a session brew … not made to overwhelm any of the tastebuds. This could make brew makes a decent one night stand, but not a brew that you would want to take home to mom.
