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

Cask, gravity at the Flowerpots brewpub, Cheriton, Hampshire 6th June 2008 Pours light amber tiny, tiny head very easy going bitter which is unlikely to offend anyone but the straightfordwardly traditional style also can make it appear ever so slightly ordinary, it was ok tasted fine with some light citrus and fruit and dryingtowards the end but my least favourite of the four on offer at the pub

Mungo (2473) - Southampton, Hampshire, ENGLAND - DEC 2, 2006
Gravity Cask @ Flowerpots, Cheriton. Much more drinkable this time with better balance, dryer and perhaps some nutty crystal malt creeping in. 3.4
Gravity Cask @ Wheatsheaf, Shedfield. Pale copper colour. Dusty english hops with some zestiness accompanied by slightly sweet malt. Hop flavour dies off quite quickly and as a result this isnt as drinkable as it should be. Drank shortly after the opening of Flowerpot brewery. 3.2
