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.

Aroma gives less than i may have wanted, malt character which seems to be common from this brewery. Taste is a bit richer, malts which give sweetness and hops which give spiceyness and orange peel, a good session ale.

A Mes rate: From the Hobgoblin in Baker St. Very off smelling nose but oddly enough it’s not too bad. Enjoyable creamy palate. Slight treacle and caramel ending off back to sugar. Seim tart finish that is a little sticky. Not bad over all.
