COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - January to March.
This famous Stone stands below the White Horse in the village of Kingston Lisle. It is said that he who can blow the stone shall be king, so we have made a beer fit for a king. Using only the finest English pale & amber malt to produce a traditional brown beer, which we hop with a combination of English brambling cross and challenger. Enjoy

imdownthepub (8470) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - JAN 22, 2011
Cask conditioned at The Turf Tavern, Oxford. Amber to brown with white head. This is a malty beer with a heavy dose of toffee / caramel, in fact somewhat overly done. It became too much through the pint. There is a hint of leafy hop which rescues it a little, but the sweet toffee persists.

DandyLion (224) - Leicester, Leicestershire, ENGLAND - MAY 4, 2013
Cask @ the old horse Leicester. Bronze coloured beer. Cereal and honey aroma. Roasted cereal taste with hoppy bitterness at the end. It’s ok enough. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
