Cellar run cask condition Ship & Mitre BF April 08. Gold/copper colour. Really a very drinkable bitter. Good balance of hop/malt/yeast. Biting hops on end which are full at the same time. One of the better bitters of the festival. Rounded. Bit of caramel and good bitterness.

[i] [b] Cask at the Royal Oak Beer Festival, Oakley, Bucks/Oxon border 03-05-08 [/i] [/b] Pours with a great clarity light golden and barely any head to speak of. Subtley hoppy nose and some sweetness there is also some sulphur as well but not too much. Quite a simple beer but lacking in the bitterness to really pull me in, finishes with a sweet lemon tea flavour its ok and I liked it but felt that it needs more oommph..
