Lightly hopped golden ale, not a lot of aroma. Slightly sweet, with nice medium body feel. Easily quaffable but fairly undemanding.

Cask conditioned at The Britannia (an Ember Inn), Headington, Oxford. Cloudy gold to amber with cream head. Hmm, the old twang of acetic acid straight away, not the cleanest of lines in this pub by the looks, bready, yeasty, end of the cask perhaps? but I still paid good money for it. Poor.
