500ml Bottle conditioned, just out of date when opened on 5 Apr 2013. Amber and clear body, a huge off-white head sat on top and carbonisation bubbles could clearly be seen as they rise to replenish the head. No sediment left the bottle, but there was plenty of beer left because of the head size. The remainder I had later and it all tasted the same, the sediment staying at the base of the bottle. Smells of yeast and ’home brew’ with a slightly vinagerous tone. The taste is also moving towards vinagerous with a malty base and hop finish, I hope the beer hasn’t gone off since it’s BBD of 14 Feb 2013 (numbered 136). Was hoping for more to be honest.

Certainly one of the oddest rates i have had. On handpull at Whittlebury Hotel in Northamptonshire. Dark brown colour lasting cream head. Dry malt malty aroma. This carries on into the mouth with a load of toast coming in at the end. A reasonably tasty malty best bitter. Apart from the sparkler pretty good. Certainly soft with touch of earthy hop.

Cask conditioned at the Woolpack, Banbury, Oxon, 12-01-09. Pours amber in colour with a white head. Good fresh and tangy, fruity session beer, nice dryness, good hops and a nice slice of bitterness in there. Really likeable beer. A7 A4 F7 P4 OV14
