Cask at the Southampton Arms on 5th March 2011. Amber with thin off-white head soon decaying to a laceless ring. Bitterness in aroma and in-mouth. Fine grapefruit and slight cheesy note to the liquid. Grassy aroma returns once liquid subsides, followed by a bitter and grapefruit blended finish. A very solid hoppy pint.

Cask conditioned, handpump at FFTMC 11.02.11 Pours amber, good clarity, tiny rim of white bubbles. Some mulch and fresh green hops on the nose. Start is slight sweet moving to a very pronounced bitterness. In fact this is a very decent drop, flavour is bit grapefruity, very pithy and by heck that bitterness is really zappy. I like this and despite hearing that some of the Summer Wine beers are a touch on the sweet side this most certainly isn’t. I didn’t take the abv details down but I’m guessing 4.2% or in that area.
