Light copper hoppy bitter. Heavily hopped with traditional varieties producing a thirst quenching beer with pronounced and pleasant hop aroma.

(Cask at Pembury Tavern, Hackney, London, 24 April 2008) Dark amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of nuts and toffee. Malty taste with dried fruit, apricots and earthy hops in a fairly dry finish. Uncomplicated, but decent session bitter.

A very ordinary British bitter handpulled at the cosy pub Far From the Madding Crowd in Oxford. Clear and deep brown body topped by a filmy head. Notes of citrus hops in aroma. Smooth hop bitterness that lasted for a while. Rather thin bodied. Easy drinking (half pint, 16.03.2008).

[i] Cask at the Three Horseshoes pub Towersey Festival [/i] Thought that I’d already rated this. Poured amber with nice white head, decent sesion beer that is quite fruity and a little dry and bitter.

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2004] An orange beer with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet hoppy with notes of hay. The flavor is sweet with some cask-flatness to it, but also notes of oranges and hops.
