Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 20/11/2012. Golden with a decent white head that left plenty of lacing down the glass. Aroma of leafy hops, sweetish hops, biscuity malts and a touch of hedgerow fruit. Easy drinking, with crisp malts, more fruit and a decent, bitter finish. Good session beer.

Cask at The Carriers Arms, Watlington, Oxfordshire. An amber coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Fruity, malty aroma. Tastes fruity, malty, some caramel and slight bitterness. Rather plain to be honest but nice to see a non Brakspear ale in this part of Oxfordshire.
