Jan 7, 2008 Cask conditioned at The Woolpack, Banbury. Amber brown with white head. Fairly typical Cottage bitter, dosed with caramel, sweetish mid coloured, malty with just a hint of hops in the mix. Quite a dull beer unfortunately.

Jan 29, 2005 I must admit I didn’t have as many misgivings about this beer as my companions, although I wouldn’t call it exactly good. It had a rather pronounced herbaceous nature - nettles and hay. There was a sharp edge, but I didn’t find it that unpleasant. Not undrinkable. Mid gold colour. Cask (handpump), Ale Wagon, Leicester (RB Leicester pub crawl).

Jan 26, 2005 Hand pulled at the Ale Wagon, Leicester (RB crawl). This tasted a bit wrong - so much so that for a moment I thought it might be an English Gueuze... Sour, vinegary, warm, sweet. Quite possibly off.

A mid amber brown colour.
Very sharp / tangy taste & quite harsh.

Jan 23, 2005 Cask conditioned - handpump - Ale Wagon Leicester (RB Leicester Crawl). A golden coloured beer with a bit of a sour aroma including some off nasty vinegar notes. The taste is on the sour side, and is clearly not on full form. There is a bit of a sour cherry taste hiding in there, which probably shouldn’t be.
