balanced but firm malty / bitter profile. Brewed with English grown
Target, First Gold &

| The Name
Well, like most areas around old Coach
Roads (the A10 London-Cambridge route, and the old Great North Road),
North Hertfordshire has a few tales of road based banditry.
Including of course one Dick Turpin, who was indeed a local lad, having
been born & raised just a few miles to the east of Buntingford.

| The Pump Clip
Well, it's Tarquin the Dandy Bandit, a well
known historical tea leaf of this manor. Famed for his love of
a cup or two down the juicer of a night, he seemed a logical choice for the pump clip. He was best
known for his policy of stealing from the rich to buy drinks for the poor
young farm hands of the area (unless they were able to run away first),
his trademark phrases have survived the years equally well. |

| The Trivia Contrary to popular myth, the highways were not as dangerous in days of yore as they are now. How many of us have not been mugged for every penny whilst innocently attempting to obtain either sustenance or fuel whilst travelling the highways of this land? |
