COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular.
A straw coloured extremely moreish session beer that has a surprisingly full flavour for its strength. A pleasant and distinctive aroma is followed by a moderate hop bitterness. The fresh finish is shorter than Shere Drop, and leaves you wanting another...

Plenty of juicy hops in this golden summer ale. Some resinous notes. Clean and refreshing. Not much more to it than that but what it does, it does very well. Cask (gravity dispense), Ealing Beer Festival 2005.
