COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Occasional.
First brewed in June 1999 to commemorate the trussing-in of Jonathan Manby.
"An amber-red bitter in the classic India Pale Ale (IPA) style, full-bodied and robust in flavor. It is late-and dry-hopped with Golding hops. Initial sweetness, which gives way to complex fruitiness followed by a bitter finish."

MesandSim (7108) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 5, 2009
A Mes rate. Cask handpull at Baker Street ’Sporks.
Clean gold with a big frothy white head. Far too metallic and virtually no flavour to back it up other than some faint nutty malt. Astringent finish. Absolute shocker!

Cask at ’Spoons, Milton Keynes, in ’Spoons Real Ale Festival, April-May ’09. Copper with a small white head. Painty malt aroma, not the best, but the taste was good enough: grainy malt with a hint of almond and a mid bitter finish.
