Cask at the Ship in Itchenor. A typical English bitter with well balanced bitter hops and plenty of malt. There was lots of flavour for such a low abv and drinkability was turned up to 11. It helped that it was perfectly kept and we had just finished a 2 mile family walk. A great pint.

Old rating, bottle. Nice round bitter. Refreshing with caramelly hints, easy to drink with hints of grain. Nice and round, easy to drink with nice fresh hops in the aftertaste.
