Mungo (2472) - Southampton, - JUL 31, 2007
Cask conditioned @ Waterloo Arms, Soton. Light coppery colour. Sweet biscuity malts and light caramel flavours. Earthy leafy hops but quite mild leaving a slightly sweet limp maltiness. Drinkable but I’m glad I only had a half.

Not really sure what a wilt is so i am even less sure what to do with an alternative! Really dissapointing beer. Bitterness is far too high and the beer is completely unbalanced. did not finish my pint!

Medium colour, HIGH HOP IN LINGER. slightly oxidised hop aroma. average beer from this brewery which is usually good. This is disappoint.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - JUL 12, 2007
Cask handpull at Market Porter, Borough. Gold, lasting off white head. Slight yeasty aroma, standard golden ale in mouth, pretty good tingling hop on finish. Decent soft lime/grapefruit. Fine. A Summer Lightning lite? Nice hoppy bite and flavour on finish.
