Session bitter. Ascot special. Previously known as Alley Cat.
A terrific copper-coloured Session Bitter packed with refreshing tropical fruit and lemon aromas. A highly drinkable and well balanced beer

Cask at the Wallington and Croydon BF, London. Pours dark gold with a light, white head. Bit of floral hops in the aroma, with some dough. Light to medium sweet flavor, floral bitterness, some straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. OK balanced finish, toasty dough, some mild citrus, hay. Very nice drinker.

Cask at the Cask Pub & Kitchen, London on 13th January 2010. Essentially bitter, with a nutty kick (hazelnut) with a few fruity, spicy notes. I found berry fruit rather than lemon. Zingy mouthfeel; beer very well-kept by the pub. I have not previously liked some of the lower-strength Ascot ales in the past, but this one was a very pleasant surprise.

Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Golden coloured with a thin cream head; honeyed aroma; soft and soapy mouthfeel with citrus fruit flavours - orange, grapefruit and tangerine; lingering bitterness to finish with some ginger and grapefruit notes. An excellent brew.
