Beaufort Arms, Kittle. A decent session bitter with a bit more malt, flavour and character than the Greene King IPA. Nice. Easy drinking.

imdownthepub (7470) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - FEB 4, 2012
Cask conditioned at The Chequers, Oxford. Amber to brown with thin white head. Thin, wishy-washy beer, malty to a point, slightly metallic. Not that much going for it.

JorgeLee (325) - Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 23, 2012
Cask at Golden Eagle, W1. Copper coloured ale, main impressions are a toasty malt and bitter earthy hop flavour. It’s ok, decent enough for a session, quite forgettable.

UPDATED: FEB 29, 2012 Cask at GBBF 2011. Golden colour with a small white head. Mild hoppy and light fruity nose. Light hoppy and malty flavour, very flat due to low co2

Rune (4924) - Tromsø, NORWAY - AUG 26, 2011
Third-pint, cask, handpulled at B1 Seacole Brewery Bar, GBBF 2011. Dotted spots on the glass from a creamy, white head. Amber-gold body. Modest smell of grassy hops. Mild and watered malt-fruity taste. Faint bitter end. Too easy to drink, perhaps (London, 02.08.2011).
