COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular.
NOTE: The pump clip has the word "Oxfordshire" in small letters above the word "Bitter" but the brewery does not refer to the beer as Oxfordshire bitter on its website.
Deep in the vale of the White Horse tradition is being kept alive. Using only the finest ingredients this golden bitter balances locally grown Challenge Hops with Yorkshire malt, to offer the discerning drinker a beer that will stop any horse in its tracks.

The pumpclip jumped at me as I opened the door to the pub, begging me...no, demanding me to drink. So... Thank you, pumpclip! What a great beer. And that as the first from a brand new brewery! What will become of this? It is a very refreshing and hoppy beer. Still full bodied and sweet. And a bit malty too.

Cask Conditioned at The White Horse, Oxford. Golden beer with White fluffy head. Wow, thought I had missed out, this beer went in a session at Oxford beer Festival and was also voted Beer of the Festival, but there was a rumour that The White Horse pub had craftily placed it on. I was instantly impressed with a very hoppy fragrant light bitter. Long sweetish tangy flavours, hints of marmalade and lemon zest. This was the perfect finish to a long day, an exceptionally well brewed craft bitter, lovely.
