A traditional English bitter brewed using water from the Hampshire chalk hills. Full and clean tasting, initially malty then tangerine fruit and resinous hop build to a quenching bitter finish.

Cask at Swan, Farnborough. Nil aroma. A light brown. Decent creamy white head.Light bitter with an underlying sweetness. Malts and berries. Tinned fruit. Medium bodied. Short finish. It must have been the texture and carbonation that combined for a silky effect but would have downed it in one, despite the taste itself being subdued. Good one.
