Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
Brewed at Henley by Brakspear until 2002 when the brewery closed and Refresh UK bought the rights to the brand. The beer was then contract brewed at the Thomas Hardy (Burtonwood) brewery for Refresh until 2004 when production was transferred to a purpose built brewhouse at the Wychwood brewery which includes original Brakspear brewing equipment.

Cask at The Chequers, Oxford. Amber beer with a very sulfurous aroma with a lightly leathery back note. Earthy and woodsy but so sulfurous that it is quite distracting. A bit of fruit in the back along with some crackery malts, but the beer is in pretty poor condition.

From cask. Pours clear and golden amber with a lacing white head. Bitter and spiced aroma. Mild malty and bitter flavour. Dry and almost breadish. Ends with a mild spice note to the dry flavours in the finish.

Cask2008. Aroma is slightly eggy with fruits, nectar and a lot of caramel malts. Flavour is oak, spices, fruits and mild notes of vanilla. Very dry wood in the finish.

Cloudy amber with medium off white head. Sweet malty aroma with hints of caramel. Sweet flavor with toasted malt and floral hops. Mild bitter end.

Cask, Oak and Saw, Taplow. Dark amber colour, no real head. Aroma is pretty gross - woody, sulphrous, festering ashtrays. Flavour isn’t much better, staleish, with some malt and a slightly bitterish finish. Insipid and frankly naff beer.
