A classic light bodied bitter. This copper coloured beer has a delicate malt flavour and a hint of caramel from crystal grains. It is traditionally bittered with Goldings and has a dry slightly spicy finish.

Served in a half-pint glass.
A: A very pretty honey-amber colour with an inch of dense, dreamy head and some lacing.
S: Slighty sour, but with some flowery/hoppy smells.
T: Initially rather nice, it took a nose dive with the introduction of some foul flavour, tasting like burning rubber. I'm not sure where it came from, but I've never had any problems with the dozens of other cask beers at this pub, so I'm assuming it's the beer. The mysterious unpleasantness comes and goes, but, when it's absent, tart if washy hops manifest. The aftertaste is fortunately brief. This is not a good beer.
M: Good enough. Smoothish and somewhat carbonated.
D: Very light and sessionable, but not very good. I don't know what's going on with the taste, but it completely ruined the beer for me. Not recommended.

A- Copper/amber gold in colour, with a thin whispy head, that is consistent throughout the pint. Some lacing, pretty average really.
S- Some sweet malt, citrussy grapefruit hints and a very faint hoppy note.
T- Lots of sweet malt intertwined with a citrussy flavour, finishing a little dry with faint hops, just like the smell
M- Low carbonation, medium body, no watery finish
D- very drinkable session bitter, but all distinctly average. a nice option to have on an everyday basis, but i dont see anything that defines this as a winter beer, as the name suggests.
