Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
Brewed at Henley by Brakspear until 2002 when the brewery closed and Refresh UK bought the rights to the brand. The beer was then contract brewed at the Thomas Hardy (Burtonwood) brewery for Refresh until 2004 when production was transferred to a purpose built brewhouse at the Wychwood brewery which includes original Brakspear brewing equipment.

Cask @ The Wharf, Aalborg. Pours a dim golden colour with a white head. Aroma of hops and plastic/rubber. Same flavour. Feels watery. Overall fails with the plastic/rubber thing and also felt too thin. 27-11-09.

Cask at Crown & Cushion, Windsor, Berkshire. Amber with a small white head. Raisin and malt aroma and a slightly sour malty taste. Mid bitter finish. Rather warm and past its best.

Cask. Clear deep amber colour, short head. Aroma of toastish malt and caramel, bit of dog. Thin watery mouthfeel. Mild flavour of toastish malt and caramel with some wet dog and litle fruitiness.

Handpulled cask at the Falcon, Clapham. Amber with a white head. Fruity and pleasently bitter for strength. Not what it was back in Henley days but a much better effort than Burtonwood made.

Cask - The Dog and Bear, Canterbury. Clear amber, soapy white head. Lightly hoppy nose as well as slight floral and caramel notes. Biscuity, bready malt flavours with a dry hoppy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, fair finish, soft mouthfeel.

On tap. Pours a clear coppor colour with no carbonation and little head. It has a very bitter and dry smell to it, not the most alluring. Taste is also a bit different and not really to my liking.
