COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal (brewed for the Six Nations and other rugby tournaments) - usually February.
A classic English ale brewed to 3.8% ABV with Pale and Crystal malts, English hops and Gales unique yeast. Swing Low has a wonderfully light floral aroma from the finest Goldings hops, perfectly balanced by the malted barley in the brew to create a lovely, refreshing beer.

Handpulled cask at the Wheatsheaf Ealing. Amber with a thin white head. Bland and totally uninteresting. Another pointless us of a defunct brewers name.

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden orange with a small off-white head. Aroma mild fruity and slight toasted malt aroma. Flavour is medium sweet malty wth a light citrusy and vague spiced hoppy note. A bit tea like. Light fruity touch into the finish. Nice and easy.

Cask Conditioned at Bishop’s Arms, Malmö
Amber color, thin head. Nice aroma, creamy caramel, lightly grassy, maybe a shadow of apples. Smooth mouthfeel, sweetish caramel with light toffee, a bit buttery, fruity. Correct bitterness, with a herbal touch at the end. Pleasant.

tried on cask at wetherspoons in henley. Not a hell of a lot to this, a subtle orangey hop bitterness in the finish perhaps but nothing at all to get excited about, sessionable but given the other beers on tap at the time a little out of their league.
