COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask, occasional;
Bushcraft is a full flavoured light copper coloured session bitter. We’ve added plenty of rye and wheat to the mash, which gives it a slight dryness on the palate. The Pilot and Bramling Cross hops used in the boil work together to give a nice bitter edge with notes of lemon and blackcurrant in the finish.

ladnewton (910) - London, - JAN 2, 2011
Cask at the Wenlock Arms, London on 29th December 2010. Copper with thin foam. Malty aroma then rather bitter in-mouth; back-of-mouth bitterness and grapefruit notes, before a lingering bittersweet aftertaste. Light mouthfeel.

EdKing (936) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 10, 2012
UPDATED: APR 11, 2012 Cask in Draft House Northcote. Colour is clear chestnut. Nose is caramel malt, nutty. Taste is nutty, something tangy, caramel, rye bread, bit dry. Wondering if this is on the turn because lacking hoppiness or citrous notes.

The_Kendall (6) - Somerset, ENGLAND - FEB 21, 2012 does not count
It smelt like old wet football boots and tasted the same....but in a good hoppy and gritty way

Leighton (4091) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 8, 2012
Cask at CBC, London. Pours clear amber with a white foam head. Like a light amber ale in character. Some lightly toasted malts, light pine. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with mild pine bitterness, toasted malts, faint caramel. Very decent.

imdownthepub (7461) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - DEC 3, 2011
Cask conditioned at The Craft Beer Co. Clerkenwell, London. Copper with white head. I had an initial burnt caramel note, some toffee, but in a good way, not overly sweet. There followed a drying leafy bitterness with a citric hop, lasting and really quite decent.

Bottle 500ml. Copper coloured with minimal head formation. Malty base, with slight hints of dark fruit. Satisfying hoppy finish.

downender (4380) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - OCT 8, 2009
Cask-conditioned at the Watershed Cafe, Bristol 8/10/09. Copper coloured with a tight white head. Aroma of red fruits, cereals and fruity hops. Flavour began with a tocuh of sweetness, hedgerow fruit and a touch of citrus before a dry finish. Good.
