Light amber with a small white head. Grainy malt aroma with herbal hops. Sweet malty flavour with grassy hops and a good bitter finish.

Cask conditioned at The Bell, Banbury, Oxon at a CAMRA, Banbury Beer Festival Planning Mtg 12-01-09. Surprised that I hadn’t rated this before as I’m sure that I’ve had it plenty of times. Pours amber with white head there is a slight haziness in there. Initially found it a bit dry and with a clingy bitterness, some not so sweet caramel and at times I find this a bit thin, but I will say its a decent enough session beer. A6 A3 F6 P3 OV12
