Our legendary winter warmer. Brewed with Fuggles and East Kent Goldings hops, Winter Lightning is very lightly spiced and deceptively drinkable.

Cask, handpump at The Chequers, Oxford in company of Grace after works Christmas meal, Thursday 18th December 2014. Pours gold with a smattering of white bubbles atop. A bit too biscuity and with a flabby, lazy sweetness, lacking in fruity bite and offering little. Served well just a tad drab. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov11 3.0

On tap at the Haymarket. Appearance - amber with a nice head. Nose - biscuits and ginger. Taste - more ginger biscuit maybe some honeycomb. Palate - medium bodied with a crunchy texture and a balanced finish. Overall - a solid bitter.

On tap somwhere! Clear amber beer. Light dry crispy palate. Nicely balanced. Bitter tea with fruity hops peeping through. Finishes minerally and with underlying bubblegum sweetness.
