A nice cask ale from the Cotswolds. Very smooth, very drinkable. With only 3.7% alcohol, I could drink this all day.

Draught in The Jolly Tar, Hannington - 30/10/10. Chestnut coloued beer. Some smoke in the early taste and sweetish as well.

Cask @ Queens Head. Deeper orange copper, light bodied, tea flavor, mild fruitiness, little flavor

Cask @ Great British Beer Festival, GBBF 2008, Earls Court, London, England SW5.
Light unclear light to medium amber orange color with a average, fizzy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head.

Body is light to medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft to flat. (070808)

Cask at The Queens Head in Stow-on-the-Wold. Very drinkable bitter. Balanced malt and sort of grassy/floral hop. (Note from 10/11/2008).

Cask@GBBF2008. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is wood and fruits with some mild earthyness. Flavour quite much the same. Not bad, but very boring.

Cask at GBBF 08. Slightly cloudy amber with a weak aroma and poor flavour. Unfortunately, just another average UK bitter.

Cloudy amber with tiny off white head. Sweet aroma with caramel and grassy hops. Flavor likewise with a mild bitter finish.
