UPDATED: FEB 1, 2005 Probably my favorite mass produced bitter, maybe because it was my first in the UK. Easy drinking, good lunchtime beer. Requires a well kept cellar, as was stated. Quite often drunk in the Moonraker in Crawely.

Excellent drinkable bitter that needs to be kept right. Always excellent in my local where they take a lot of trouble over it. Very clean, with light hoppiness and malt. An easy bitter that deserves more praise

Cask @ the Hop Pole pub in Limpley Stoke. Nicely chilled cask. Copper with a thin head. Malty aroma is nothing exciting but does smell fresh and fruity. Very sturdy and solid body. Excellent balance here. The malts really shine but the finish is clean, fruity, and freshly hopped.

Cask Conditioned: The beer pours somewhat copper coloured. It had a decent head, but it dissapated rather quickly. There was a mild citrus fruit aroma to it. They were also somewhat pronounced in the taste, but yet still rather subdued. Maltiness in the background. Very smooth. Pretty good, but not overly exciting.
