A golden brown coloured beer with a strong white head. A hoppy nose with a citrusy edge. A dry hoppiness in the initial taste followed by a somewhat sweet yeasty malt flavour, but not unpleasant, the finish is dry. (Bottle - Purchased from The World of Wines, Southsea, Hampshire).

Poured from the bottle (courtesy of the London crew), a clear amber with no head. A juicy hop aroma, hinting of passionfruit. An oh so smooth mouthfeel with a nice long bitter finish releasing flowery and fruity flavours. Yum.

UPDATED: NOV 18, 2006 Nov 07 Gravity Cask @ Southwick Brewhouse. A nice traditional bitter with pleanty of and rounded almost floral hops. Quite sessionable 3.3
Feb 06BCA (BBE Jan 07). Suprisingly a yeasty TCP nose which hides most of the hop character. Plain nasty which is odd given the usual high quality of Oakleaf. Av rating given.

Bottled.Misty golden colour, poured with almost no head. Lovely light hop aroma. A genuine bitter, punching well above its weight and perfect as a session ale. Thanks to Ray and Bill for butting me onto the Beer Essentials whilst I was in Horsham.
