Brown 500ml bottle, best before end of Feb 2010, drank mid Dec 2009. Poured into my vase shaped pint glass.
Voted Britains best bitter in 2004 by SIBA (Small Independant Breweries Association). The beer was first brewed to celebrate the legend of a fairy who hid gold in a south Shropshire beauty spot (Bury Ditches).
Light amber, more than the dull gold I described the cask version. It is light for a normal UK bitter, but this is brewed using Pale Ale and Lager malted barley. The white head left loads of lacing as the beer was consummed.
The smell is a little different to the cask version also, the hops take over completely, they have used Fuggles and the American Cascade and Mount Hood hops. I am sure they are in the cask beer too, just not as prominent in the aroma.
The beer has a dry feel to it and a bitterness which leans towards grapefruit and other citrus sour flavours. Both the dryness and bitterness are there from the start but the intensity grows towards the end of the mouthfeel.
This is the second UK beer I've reviewed today that has used Lager malts, this one is far superior to the first. It has a presence, depth and something to say.
