Magnus GreelExcellent29 Aug 2022 Not the typical English bitter I was expecting, subtle malts combined with a toasty hoppy kick and hints of prune.

Philip PirripPoor10 Jun 2022 Fobbed on pouring which made me doubt it. Alas, like my different first pint, was sourish, stale and apple flavours too. Even dashes of lemonade did not take the edge off it
