Crafted with Maris Otter malt and a secret blend of English hops, this beer has been a Bristol favourite for good times since the 1970s. Its distinctive, clean, and refreshing bitterness makes it a timeless classic.

But there’s so much more to discover in its taste profile. The malt brings a rich, molasses-like sweetness balanced by hoppy, peppery undertones that keep it satisfyingly moreish.

The result? A perfectly rounded amber ale with just the right amount of bitterness to keep you coming back for more. This is a beer with character, depth, and a legacy—truly a Bristol original.
