[cask at Catherine Wheel, Henley] A gorgeous chestnut-russet colour with a lasting white head, this looks every inch the perfect English pint. The smell is rich, earthy and tempting, and the earthiness continues into the flavour, with the addition of a big shovel of sweet malt and lots of autumn leaves. Theres a little orange in there too before a long bitter thirst-quenching finish that is perfectly balanced with the rest of the beer. A great English bitter with the flavour and characteristics starting to head into ESB territory. Good stuff.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pale chestnut in colour with a slight white head. Aroma and flavour dominated by red fruit and caramel. There was a touch of earthy hop in the finish, which was short and bitter. Ok.
