COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Henry thinks he has a bit of continental style like a fine wine. With backbone...long and clean...and with an elegant finish. The truth is he's a good honest beer, Oxfordshire born and bred. (May/June)

Unusually strong for a hot weather summer ale, perhaps Brakspear know what a British summer is really like. It tastes simular to their old ale and bitter.

Cask. Cloudy, dark copper colour. Nice creamy head. Flowery aroma, fresh fruit. Grassy hoppiness in flavour. Aftertaste is OK bitter, slightly astringent and with some aromatic hoppiness also. Nice, semi-creamy mouthfeel.
