Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Chestnut brown, with a thin cream head; sweet malt aroma; dry and nutty to start then developing a jammy sweetness before a dry biscuity finish. A straightforward and very drinkable bitter.

Cask at Reading beerfest. Malty, roasty, fruity with a decent amount of hops. Nicely balanced ale and incredibly well balanced. What a great session beer. This is certainly my favourite Rebellion beer, excellent!

Cask, gravity at the Trigger Pond St Georges Beer Festival, Bucknell, Nr Bicester, Oxon, 25-04-09 Pours amber with a white head, there maybe a possible nod towards the floral notes that the commercial description suggests. Pleasant tasting, some straightforward bitterness, and little tanginess. Like most of the Rebellion stablemate of beers this was absolutely fine if mostly unremakable. A6 A4 F6 P3 Ov11

Overall rating is average of both ratings: [First rate - 17/3/09 - Cask at the Hope Tap, Reading - 6/4/8/3/15] Copper-red colour with a moderate, creamy off-white head - a nice looking pint. Negligible carbonation. Taste just makes me think of autumn - woodiness, crisp dry leaves, some fruitiness (sweet apples) and a hint of smoke. There’s a crisp bitterness from the off, but this is contrasted by sweetness behind and a mouthfeel that is possibly (and this is my only criticism) just a tad too syrup-y. For an autumnal-style ale, this went down a treat on a warm spring day - it’s a top-notch example of an English bitter, and tastes stronger and more distinctive than the ABV suggests. [Second rate - 5/10/13 - Cask at The Feathers, nr Cliveden, Bucks - 5/3/4/3/9] Long time since I rated this, and perhaps my tastes have changed, but this time round I didn’t like this. Yes there’s some fruity malt and autumn leaves, but it’s beaten into submission by bittersweet treacle. Too sweet up front, and with an unpleasant dirty bitterness left in your mouth afterwards. [Third rate - 19/1/16 - Gravity cask at the Swan, West Wycombe. RB score 8/4/7/4/15 (3.8)] Astonishing condition. Fresh as you like. Deep amber with a thin white head and a light sparkle. Woody up front, lots of fruit, a bit of toffee and a good leafy bitterness. A really flavoursome bitter in great condition. Excellent stuff. [Fourth rate - 19/1/16 - cask at the Plough, West Wycombe. RB score 6/3/6/2/11 (2.8)] Fruity with some caramel. OK, but not a patch on the same beer half an hour earlier at the Swan. Boy, this beer is affected by conditioning. Overall RB score is the average of all tastes.

Cask at the Monks Retreat (JDW), Reading. Ruby red with a dense tan head; aromas of orange and grain; sweet red fruit flavours initially with a rhubarb tartness; strong bitter finish with vegetable and mineral tones. Different and not unpleasant.
