COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular. Also available bottled.
Also sold as Longleat Ale.

At OG 1046 and ABV 4.8%, the beer is traditionally brewed using only the finest quality of water, barley and rye malts, whole hops and the brewery’s own top-fermenting yeast. The colour is deep amber with a red hue derived from the Head Brewer’s unique composition of ingredients. The taste is deliciously fruity and malty with a lingering bitter aftertaste.
This fine beer is brewed to celebrate the approval in November 2003 for the reintroduction of the Great Bustard bird onto the Salisbury Plain.

KeefOz (472) - Tarragindi, AUSTRALIA - MAY 4, 2013
UPDATED: MAY 5, 2013 Tasted 23/4/2013 500ml bottle. Poured a semi-clear dark amber colour with a thin white line of bubbles for a head. Aroma very malty - earthy rather than sweet. Malty aroma most noticeable element of this ale. Taste sweetish with no obvious bitterness. Light to medium body. Smooth, soft, lightish ale with a sweetish finish. OK. Easy to drink.

a_cross (346) - Poole, Dorset, ENGLAND - DEC 24, 2012
Cask; deep brown, clear, thin white head; sweet malty aroma; complex malts, slightly toasted; blackcurrant and licquourice flavours; not my usual cup of tea, but an enjoyable and slightly unusual malty brew.

laiti (3939) - Tampere, FINLAND - OCT 26, 2012
Cask @ Salhojankadun Pub
Rather light aroma with resin and hints of caramel. Flavour has resiny hops, some fruits, caramel, hints of toffee and woody notes. Nice, the resin fits here perfectly.

berkshirejohn (3648) - Bracknell, Berkshire, ENGLAND - SEP 6, 2012
50cl bottle from a range of local beers in the village shop in Upavon, Wilts. A copper pour with a dense, voluminous cream head; rich malty aroma; and a rich malty taste too, with some orchard fruits; leading to a dry, fruity, toffee, finish. A good strong malty bitter.

On tap somewhere! Hazy brown beer. Light dry palate. Rich rich fruity hops! Lovely blend of orange, pineapple, peach. mango and lemon. Tangy and fresh. Finishes light and crisp and still fruity. Tangy and fresh!

Habanero (1673) - Tranbjerg, DENMARK - APR 16, 2012
Bottled. Pours clear and deep goldenwith a medium sized, white head. Nose of mild hops, mostly citrus fruits among with caramel and nuts. Sweet flavor with fruit, bread and caramel notes. Medium bodied, creamy texture and soft carbonation. Ends up mostly with malt flavor and a subdued bitterness.

Nocturne (383) - Cheshire, ENGLAND - APR 4, 2012
500ml bottle. Reddish amber colour with a good head and plenty of lacing. Great aroma, so sweet and sugary. Taste can’t quite live up to that billing but it’s a refreshing drop, with a nice caramel and honey fruitiness. Soft mouthfeel with sweetness up front and some bitterness as it finishes. Good stuff.
