(on tap) Hazy copper with slight white head. Malty aroma. Medium body with light carbonation. Tangy and malty start with nice bitter and biscuit finish. Very pleasant beer.

Orange with a small, semi-lasting white head. Grain and hay in the aroma. Sweet flavour with fruity candy notes.

UPDATED: APR 5, 2010 Cask conditioned - handpump - GBBF 2007. A copper coloured beer with a standard English hop/malt aroma. Reasonable flavours with some hop coming through. Ordinary but holds its own.Score 3.1
Subsequent ratings scored 3.2 and 3.0. Average unaltered

Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer fest 07. Brown amber with white head. Quite a standard session bitter, it has a tea leaf type hoppy taste, a lingering dryness on malty base. Reasonable enough.
