Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
A well flavoured, clean tasting, amber coloured session bitter. A roasted malt aroma leads to a fruity, slightly sweet taste, followed by a dry, long lasting finish. Brewed using Pale Ale and Crystal malts, hopped with Fuggles and Goldings. Trotton won Best Bitter class at the Portsmouth Winterfest 1994.

Half pint handpulled at Far From the Madding Crowd on a quiet and lazy Sunday afternoon in Oxford. Deep golden brown body with only a ring of bubbles at the surface. Vague hop floral nose. Soft hoppy taste with a smooth bitter finish. Average British bitter (16.03.2008).

Copper colour. Restrained malt and hops. Not packed with flavour, but a decent dry session bitter. Not much else to say really. Cask (gravity dispense), Battersea Beer Festival 2005.

Cask Conditioned at Hook Norton Beer Festival. Light brown with thin head. Easy drinking pale bitter with a thin malty background and a smooth hoppiness which dries to a lasting finish.
