Cask, handpump at The Crown and Tuns, Deddington, Oxon, 08.11.10 Malty rich beer that is both dry and with a decent bitterness, quite thickish mouthfeel for an ESB. Very good to start with though the enthusiasm waned after a little while, however this is a decent beer and in really good condition. Possibly becomes a little sweet for me after a while and maybe a bit one dimensional but its still very good. Poured copper as the name suggested with a wonderful cyrstal clear clarity and nice white head. Credit where credit is due, this beer like the Vale Misty Moutain Hop that I had at the Hop Pole in Aylesbury were an example of two beers that were served in spankingly good condition. b] A6 A5 T7 P4 Ov12 3.4

Cask-conditioned at the JDW on Whitehall 23/09/09. Copper coloured with a decent, off-white head. Sweetish, malty aroma with a touch of the hedgerow. Flavour was also malty, with some earthiness and a decent bitter finish. Good.
