Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer fest ’11. Gold with white head. Moderate bode but with a good sharp, tangy bitter orange note over the top. Bittersweet and refreshing, definitely quite sessionable, a well constructed beer.

(Bottle conditioned.) Anyone who has visited the small mystical town of Glastonbury in Somerset , will be familiar with the ’Tor’ monument . Its such a unique tower , steeped in mysticism and lore , i’d have made a big, rich dark ale as a tribute - but this was plesant , I guess. Grassy , resiny hops and caramel body ...
