Also known as Frolic Bitter.
Thirst quenching ale full of fresh hops and warm maltiness, definitely a classic beer to be savored.

ThomasE (5176) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAY 7, 2005
Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen. orange beer with a light haze, and a small dense white head. Malty fruity aroma with a light bitterness. Malty sweet flavor with hints of toffee and some hoppy bitterness with a citric touch.

DanielBrown (2586) - Birmingham (via Leicester), West Midlands, ENGLAND - APR 18, 2005
Hand pulled at the British Oak, Stirchley, Birmingham. Very similar in looks and falvouring to the Bristol IPA, which was also sampled in the same venue today. If anything, the flavours are even more muted and lacking than that other beer, which is worrying. Bland.

pivo (2540) - GERMANY - APR 17, 2005
CASK: Pale amber color, low lathery head. Weak malt body with a broad hop bitter across the mouth. Quick profile and thin - almost watery. OK, but not so thrilling overall.

SilkTork (4691) - Rochester, Kent, United Kingdom, WALES - JUN 4, 2003
Cask, The Bull's Head, Pratt's Bottom. Very much in the style of a Blond Ale. Apple very much to the fore. Cider and vanilla aroma. Mild sharpness in the finish.
