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 Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy reddish amber beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity - and so is the flavor, but it is also very fresh, from a very well balancing hops, which gives it a slight hoppy bitter end. Nice session beer.

Malty, earthy hoppiness. Slight caramel accent. Firm body with a slight oiliness towards the end. A quality pint.

Cask. Starts off with an astringent bitterness which is quite nice. Turns malty and hop fruity. Dark copper colour, stable white big-bubbled head. White-vinous quality with an uncompromising bitterness.
