 Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England
Apr 1, 2008 Cask conditioned @ Nags Head, Reading. Light bodied
with some reasonable malt flavours and some tangy fruit. I felt the
flavours were slightly muddy as it was near the end of the barrel but
other people were enjoying it in the pub, it seemed to be the fastest
selling and more than one person went back for another.
