Copper coloured, tiny head. Sweet fruity aroma, marmaladey. Rich nutty malty taste. Very good example of an English bitter.

Oct 9, 2006 Cask (handpump), rediscovered notes from March 2004. Venue uncertain. Amber colour. Sweetish and predominantly malty with some underlying spicy hop character. Smooth and mellow without much bitterness. Could maybe use a touch more grip and bite, but pretty decent. An easy drinker.
Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England
Mar 2, 2004 Cask conditioned. Earthy caramel aroma. Dry bitter flavour with unpleasant nutty crystal malt which fades to leave a long sticky hop finish.

Jul 14, 2003 Cask Conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival. Light golden yellow with thin fluffy head. Oily, fresh flavour, a touch of linctus but rich in hops. Nice dry follow through.
