[i] [b] Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival 09-05-08 [/i] [/b] Apparently as the name suggests this is brewed by Gary Mitchell at the Elland plant, so I was reliably informed by a North Oxon CAMRA scooper Paul Yarrop at Banbury Beer Beer Festival. Pours light amber with some sweet citrus which leaks plenty of bitterness around the edge’s and roof of my mouth. The bitter edge to this beer lasts a little while and the beer finishes quite dry, there is some banana on the nose and also some sweet candy in the mouth.

Cask gravity at The Swan Inn, Wittersham, Kent. Copper colour, malt is a little syrupy, decent condition. Green apple on aroma. Bit chewy. Hops on end are pretty good with a nice hoppy bite. Bit too much green apple.
