Looks good in and out of the bottle. Lovely, dark colour and hoppy aroma. Malt in the taste and a satisfying bitter finish. A really good English bitter. The pride of little Bedfordshire (my home county).

Bottle poured dark red amber with a small head and lacing. Aroma is light malt and ripr fruits. Flavor is malt, fruits, apple? Light body and easy drinking.

Very drinkable. Light fruitiness balanced by a dull bitterness make this one a pleasant experience. A bit light on the malt, but otherwise a fine drink.

Draft at DBF 2005. Clear brown colour with an off white head. Aroma of hops and malts. Watery flavour of malts and hops. Boring.

Poured a good dark copper, frothy, a good mouthfeel, a little spice a little nice, try it twice. Makes me think a little hop, another gulp, can’t stop. mmmm.

Ruby red, thick white head. Hoppy, spicy nose. Rich, fruity flavour. Medium to full bodied. Rounded malty taste. Sweet aftertaste. Somewhat yeasty and hints of herbs.

Draught. Discreet and persistent foam. Extinguished and firm aspect, a lot little bubbly. Intense red color. Bitter scent and herbal hoppiness. Dry and deeply bitter taste, little fresh and enough persistent. To me, badly draught.
