imdownthepub (3937), Banbury, Oxfordshire, Oxfordshire, England May 11, 2008 Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer Fest ’08. Red Amber with white head. Good old Butts Brewery, still going strong and doing things properly, this is a sweetish ale type beer with warming alcohol notes, made me really sleepy in the May sunshine. Good hoppy finish, good beer.
