Fin (5749) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - SEP 2, 2007
Cask,The Rock of Gibraltar Beer Festival, Enslow, Oxon, 01-09-07 In fact this beer was just one of the regular beers on at the pub rather than being for the beer festival that was being held over the weekend. Poured amber with tangy fruity aroma, this followed through into the taste some residual sweetness hanging around, interesting if not exceptional beer.
