Sep 23, 2007 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. 3.9% Gold with a small white head. Plummy malt aroma. Taste is smooth, gentle, grainy, creamy. Very little bitterness. All rather subdued. A bit like England in the RWC.

Feb 22, 2004 Cask Conditioned at The Coach and Horses, Banbury. Golden brown beer with thin head. For the uninitiated, an Outside Half is a position on a Rugby Union team in this case, so presumably this is brewed for the 6 Nations Championship going on at the moment, Rugby is a big deal in England at the moment. The beer is certainly not a world beater unlike the team though, it is a soft malty brew with few other characteristics. There is no Hooky hoppiness worth describing, it is just a little on the boring side.
