Reddish brown and clear with a spotty off-white head. Oaky aroma, some venous and almost vinegar notes. Sweetish taste with a light bitter sourness in the long dry finish. More oak in the aftertaste. Soft carbonation. It's that increasingly rare beast: a decent basic bitter.

4th January 2020 Mighty Oak taproom, Maldon. Cask. Clear gold, small bubbly off white head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light clean malts provide a modicum of sweetness. Floral hop, mildly spicy. Touch of juicy semi ripe citrus. Finishes smooth with some floral bitterness and some unwanted but mild esters. Not bad. Nice condition.

4th January 2020 Mighty Oak taproom, Maldon. KeyKeg. Light haze on this gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, slightly soft but still with decent fine minerally carbonation. Soft malts provide a light creamy sweetness. Hops bring orange, tangerine and a touch of mandarin. A little peel in there. More floral toned and fairly bright and juicy citrus on the smooth finish along with a mild bitterness. Bright and breezy.
