Half pint, cask in perfect condition, served at a fine drinking temperature and drunk upstairs at The Market Porter, London Bridge. Light sunset in body colour with a slight haze and a shinning surface. Floral aroma with discreet notes of hop resin. Has got a taste of earthy malts mixed with ripe dried fruits. Smooth bitter endnotes. Dry in the mouth. A quite decent start to a drinking week in London (01.08.2009).

Cask, gravity dispense, Charlbury Beer Festival, Oxon 04-07-09 Pours gold, no head but some light bubbles rising to the surface in this beer. Some light malts and honey on nose but it’s really quite delicate. Taste is really honey, not sure whether this was just a bog standard honey used but it was nice and I’m sure that I got chestnut in there. There is a nice bitterness throughout, its got a decent sweetness and its dry at the end. A6 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.5
