Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular. Also available bottled conditioned.
Ingredients: Maris Otter and Crystal malts; Whitbread Goldings, Progress, Goldings and Fuggles hops.
The first Itchen Valley beer, launched in 1997. The name comes from the original brewers being godfathers when the brewery was founded.
A crisp, distinctive quaffing ale with a bittersweet edge. Full in flavour, golden in colour with a unique hoppiness which comes from using four varieties of hop.

Cask@Criterion, Leicester. Golden beer with a toffee aroma, and a toffee and bitter flavour with a touch of malt. Overall a reasonable beer.

Cask in The New Crown. Aroma is caramel malts, grassy bittering hop. Taste is similar, basicly the perfect example of an inoffensive basic bitter.

Handpulled cask at JDW Watford. Golden brown with short lived white head. Pleasant but rather bland.

Cask, conditioned at The Globe on the lake, Alresford, Hampshire 7th June 2008 Pours dark gold or even light amber maybe no head to this beer, tangy fruity and another quite soft malty beer from this part of the world, there is some tingly citrus favour but I wouldn’t go of out of my way to try this again.
