Light brown traditionally brewed ale with a generous helping of Challenger hops, hence the Sting in the Tail. Goldings are added for aroma.

[Cask at Monkโs Retreat, Reading] Amber, slight loose off-white head. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Slight woodiness up front, then soft citric fruits, caramel and a mildly bitter finish. Pleasantly easy drinking stuff, but rather bland and boring for an ESB.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 26/04/09. Copper coloured with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of grassy hops with a hint of biscuit. Flavour was similar with a pretty big, bitter finish. Unmemorable.
