Half-pint, cask ale, shared with Finn at the Old Vine. Filmy layer, lacing rings down the glass, clear copper brown body. Slightly roasted caramel malts on the nose. Flavoured with dark fruits and caramel malts. Bittersweet endnotes. Clean in the mouth. Pretty alright Brit bitter. (Winchester 23.10.2019)

Cask at Hants Oktoberfest 2019. Spicy grainy aroma. Golden. Frothy white head. It's an uber malty IPA. Citrus, spice and malts. Light bodied. Thin. Benefits from soft carbonation. Slightly astringent finish. Nice enough.

Bottle, from historic notes. Source not recorded. Poured slightly hazy dark amber with a creamy off-white head. Aroma of moderate roasted malt, toffee, biscuit, hops and fruit. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness, medium body, oily texture. Was a pretty decent brew.

Cask at PIneapple beer fest. Clear blond/pale yellow colour with no head. Not much aroma. Maybe just a touch of lemon. Tastes nice though. Bit bready and with sweet lemon sherbert element. Medium bodied with no carbonation and a nice bitter finish. Good summer drink probably! --- Beer merged from original tick of Oakleaf Some Are Drinking on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:06 - Score: Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.

Bottle @ LCRBM 2008. Orange color. Citrus and raspberry in the aroma. Malty, flowery hops in the almost vinous flavor. Warming alcohol. Sherry notes. Good!

Bottle at Three Joes Pizza, Winchester. Low key citrus aroma. Pale gold. Thick fluffy white head. Medium bitter. A slight hint of sweetness before almost smokey malts take over. Light bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. Not quite a standard Pils thanks to the interesting smokey element.
