Cask at The Queens Head in Stow-on-the-Wold. Very drinkable bitter. Balanced malt and sort of grassy/floral hop. (Note from 10/11/2008).

Cask@GBBF2008. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is wood and fruits with some mild earthyness. Flavour quite much the same. Not bad, but very boring.

Cask-conditioned at the Black Horse, Naunton, Gloucs 9/9/07. A vivid amber colour with a moderate off-white head that left a lot of lacing down the glass. Pronounced malty aroma without being cloying. Easy drinking with a hint of toffee followed by a decent bitter finish. This offered a huge amount for a 3.6% bitter - probably the best sub-4% ABV beer I have experienced [4.3]. Re-rate: The Royal Oak, Andoversford, Gloucestershire. I have read on many occasions that Donnington beers are highly variable, and this was the proof. The BB on this occasion was a standard bitter, inclining towards the malty and with a bitter finish. It still looked good but was nothing like as memorable as at Naunton. [3.1]

Cask at the Fox Inn, Great Barrington, Glos’ 02-09-06. Classic english bitter served in a lovely pub and beautiful village, pours amber coloured was nice and malty and just the right level of bitterness, my only criticism was that it was a tad on the warm side otherwise a very good beer.
