Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
"Distinctive balance between the flavours of fruity Golding variety hops, Maris Otter malted barley and demerara sugar. Strong and refreshingly long, dry and bitter finish."

[Cask at Charlie's Bar, Copenhagen] An amber beer with a fine head. The aroma is fruity, and the flavor is fruity, and bitter. A nice bitter.

Cask at GBBF 2006. Handpull. Copper colour with thin off white head. Odd citrus aroma. Odd lemon, but more lime in the citrus mix. Some yeast. Some hopo on end. A little bizarre and not what I was expecting

Cask (handpump) at GBBF, August 2006. Dark amber colour. A soft, sweetish best bitter. The emphasis is on sweet, fruity malt and hop character is in pretty short supply - no more than a hint of earthy Goldings. Consequently lacks impact. Couldn’t really call this faulty (so I’ve erred on the side of generous in the scoring) but its not my preferred style of bitter at all.

Cask conditioned at The Easington, Banbury. Amber with white head. Malty, soft beer with a light biscuit flavour, some carmel, toffee but little else. Sweetish finish, nothing exciting.

Cask conditioned – handpump – GBBF. A copper to brown coloured beer with a sweet malty but slightly soapy aroma. The taste has some malty character but is dull and just uninteresting. I am afraid this is a typical Black Sheep safe bitter.
