COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Occasional.
It has a medium body with a crisp bitterness garnered from the great English hop varieties Fuggles and East Kent Goldings, and a superior citrus aftertaste derived from Styrian Goldings. The caramel/biscuit flavours from the Vienna and Amber malts used in the grist balance the bitterness. Enjoy

imdownthepub (8492) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - AUG 7, 2011
Cask conditioned at The Rose & Crown, Charlbury, Oxon. Gold to amber with white head. I’m finding this with White Horse beers lately, there was quite a strong initial taste of caramel, toffee. Quite bitter and dry and hints of hop cone, leafy, quite earthy. Reasonable, but could do without the toffee notes.
