Cask handpull at The White Lion, Fawcott, Oxon. Lovely dark brown colour, thin lasting beige head. Really good mild, lovely smooth flavour and mouthfeel. Some honey flavours. Some honey on aroma. Really impressive beer.

50cl bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Pale amber with a fast fading white head; heavy carbonation and lots of fluffy yeast that wouldn’t fully settle before pouring. Honey aroma; citrus flavours, with a long strong dry and bitter hoppy finish with traces of pine resin. Very tasty.

Cask gravity at Oxford Beer Festival, 15-10-09 Pours copper in colour as the description suggests. Fairly easy going session ale with a hop that I’ve rarely come across, its pleasant enough but safe, notes are sketchy and short but working behind the bar and its rather busy. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Cask gravity at Oxford Beer Festival, 15-10-09 Pours gold and like its stablemate the Honey Mild it hadn’t really got a head to speak of. Light honey and a touch of floralness on nose, there is also a little wheatiness. A little honey rush of sweetness to start but then a really good snappy hop bite, hops are a touch soapy maybe but not bad at all. A6 A3 F7 P3 Ov13 3.2

Cask gravity at Oxford Beer Festival, 15-10-09 Pours dark amber head possibly white head but never lasted long enough that I could be certain. Soft in the mouth with honey and caramel most noticeable, touch of honey on nose, its pleasant enough and around this side of the bar incredibly popular. A6 A3 F6 P3 Ov12 3.0

Cask gravity at Oxford Beer Festival 16-10-08 Thanks for adding this Hughie, I had this on Thursday night but forgot to take down the abv and couldn’t find details of it anywhere. Fruity and chocolatey straight away and whilst there is some bitterness there its just sort of kicking about half heartedly liked a bored teenager with its hands in its pockets kicking a can along the road, little bit of creaminess, its really quite nice, interesting how it got the name.
