Pours a half finger of head on a clear dark straw body.
The aroma is a faint wood and grain.
The taste is woody, apples with a sharp and quick lemon bitterness.
The texture is smooth.
Enjoyable.

Pours a clear amber with fine head.

Smell is malty and floral with notes of brown bread, leather, citrus and caramel.

Taste is malty, floral and bready with a bit of sweetness. Notes of citrus, caramel, brown bread and leather. Solid bitterness, very crisp, clean and drinkable.

Mouthfeel is medium, creamy and well carbonated.

Overall, a terrific modern bitter. I could drink this all day long.

Gravity halfpint at the Sebright Arms.

A: Clear chestnut body under a solid, frothy white head. Delicate lace. Nice.

S: Floral hoppiness is balanced cleanly with toasty, lightly nutty malts. A touch of citrus as well. Pleasant.

T: Maltier than the nose, but that's not a bad thing. Rich nuttiness, some almond and toffee, and citrus hops on the long, bittersweet finish. A complex and enjoyable Bitter.

M: Soft, fairly lively medium body. Excellent for gravity.

O: This was a really, really nice little Bitter. It was both fresh-tasting and deep, packing lots of complexity into its 4.2%. Give it a shot.

Cheers!

Dispensed from the cask into an English half pint pot at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green (Jan '12)

Pours to a clear amber/copper colour with a thin white head

Subtle malty nose twinned with a light hop aroma, would say citrusy hops - grapefruit/orangey smell

Malts in the taste, but probably a little more background than the smell, also get the citrus fruit flavours in the hopping, quite an earthy taste but not too bitter in the aftertaste

A fairly thin beer in body, but not to the detriment of my enjoyment - ample for this style/ABV!

Overall a decent effort for a brewery that only set up in summer '11, a well balanced (I would say session beer but it's over 4% - just), sod it, ... session beer!
