COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask: Special - June 2004
Celebrate England’s journey through the Euro 2004 finals. Let’s drink to us being there at the end. Ruby red beer with the characteristics of port from the famous vineyard regions of Portugal. Delicious with cheese.

Hand pulled at the Anchor, Birmingham and supped as England beat Switzerland 3-0, during Euro 2004. An odd Mild this, if Mild it indeed was. Remarkably dry, with a hoppy twang to finish. Creamy top but medium thin mouthfeel. Very tasty.

Gazza (726) - Worcester, Worcestershire, ENGLAND - NOV 12, 2004
Absolutely rancid. A crappy caramel and boiled sweet aroma and flavour follows into a dry, plasticky peardrop taste. I doubt this would sell apart from the name which is a cashing in on the world cup. Batemans produce yet another turkey; whatever happened to them??? (Cask @ Steam Railway, Swindon)

A curious beer, this one. Dark red/brown colour. Predominantly malty, but rather fuller bodied that one would normally expect a mild to be. Sweetish finish. Quite nice, whatever it is. Cask (handpump), Bateman’s Visitor Centre

imdownthepub (7461) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - JUN 5, 2004
Cask conditioned at Batemans Visitor Center, Wainfleet, Lincs. Reddy brown beer with a full, beige head. Fruity and nutty smooth mild beer, dark and easy drinking. I didn’t get the Port thing though, not enough alcohol kick really. Sweet finish, not sure your average footie fan will drop the lager for this though.
