Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 16/09/09. Murky brown colour wih a decent off-white head. Big, hoppy aroma with plenty of fruit and some earthiness. Fairly easy drinking despite the strength and multitude of flavours - sweet doughy malts, red fruit, citrus hops and a long, bitter finish. Full of character and great stuff.

(Cask at Marble Arch, Manchester, 24 July 2009) Golden yellow colour with creamy, white head. Fruity nose with citrus, lemon peel and freshly cut grass. Fruity taste with notes of citrus (lemon, grapefruit), grass and a generous, fresh bitterness in a dry finish. Slightly below medium body. Another very nice and hoppy beer from Oakham.
