Originally a Special in 2006 under the name Cotswold Lion. Then became a May / June seasonal. Now regular.
Pride of the Cotswolds.
A perfectly balanced bronze beer, full of fruit flavours and aromas. Complex yet refreshing, Lion has a long, bittersweet finish

[Cask at GBBF] Clear golden. Tangerine aroma. Medium sweet and medium bodied with soft mouthfeel. Dominated by fresh tangerine, although solid bready malt plays a significant part. medium bitterness. Good stuff!

Cask Conditioned at the Hook Norton Beer Festival Sat 22nd July 2006. This was a great beer to brighten up what had been a pretty horrid wet day at Hooky Beer Festival, the festivalers seemed to treat the Glastonbury type weather and conditions as just a minor inconvienience and looked to be having a great time. This beers was yet another winner from Hooky pouring a pale amber, and with a nice fruity hoppy aroma. That trademark Hooky taste came through immediately (it must be the water) and this beer was a wondefully fruity beer that easily outshone all others that I had this day, instantly refreshing and very full flavoured at 4.2% I could drink plenty of these and not get in the least bit bored.
