This is an interesting one, if only because Helen originally hails from Pendle Witches country. Moorhouses, the brewer, is based in Burnley and was founded in 1865. It has won more CAMRA and international awards than any other brewer of its size. Apparently, when it reached 140 years of brewing in 2005, it celebrated with a steam train extravaganza. Find out more at www.moorhouses.co.uk.
The beer is designed to be a light golden beer, with soft, crisp and bitter-sweet flavours. It uses Maris Otter and Crystal malts, invert sugars, torrefied wheat, Fuggles hops, Lakeland water and Moorhouses own yeast. Although they describe it as a light gold beer, it looked more like a traditional copper colour to me, and tasted like a very good bitter. I liked it.
ABV is 5.1%. It does not say it is bottle conditioned, but it was hazy so I suspect it is.
