From old notes. Visited the brewpub in the Summer of 2000. Cask. Copper coloured. Served quite cool (by English standards). Pleasant sessionable beer, just mild bitterness.

Clear deep golden color with a white head. Mild intensity in the aroma. Medium light body and a soft carbonation level. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Caramel malty, mild fruity and some toffee in the flavor. A bit better character than the usual suspect this one. Decent.
