A dry, hoppy traditional bitter with a light bronze colour. Excellent on its own and particularly good with food.

imdownthepub (7171) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - JUL 20, 2009
Cask conditioned at The Black Boy, Winchester. Amber with white head. Proving that this pub can serve a decent beer, but strangely it was right next to another pump with Black Boy bitter, which is the same beer as this!! Hoppy, bitter, lasting session type beer, pretty reasonable, but not for 10p over 3 quid its not.

A Mes rate: gravicask at GBBF.
Light golden brown with a slim head. Faint hops with some one dimensional caramel malt. Faint peaty notes and a tiny lick of sourness that makes it seem like it is just about to turn. Bittersweet finish. Dull but inoffensive.
