Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - January & July.
NOTE: Only ratings for the cask version should be entered here; the bottled version has a separate listing.
A very easy drinking, lightly coloured pale ale brewed to commemorate the burning of a used Burton Union barrel. A sharp bitterness is perfectly complemented with a slight lemon citrus aroma.

Cask, Gardener’s Arms, Oxford. Pale oange with a persistant layer of off-white, very dense and fine. Softly hoppy in a sweet spring field kind of way. A a touch of fresh yeast. Very soft malt sweetness, a bit of pear esters, lightest touch of bitterness in the finish. A bit of dried berry flavor edges in half-way through the pint. Subtle but good, in an unassuming, friendly way.

Cask at The Alwyne Castle, Angel. Lively carbonation, light gold appearance. Easy drinking session beer with a decent bitter finish, but lacking in flavour complexity and all too forgettable. As someone said, this beer is more fitting of the 2006/2007 England Ashes performance.

Cask (handpulled) at the Wellington, Birmingham. A fairly plain jane kind of pint, all rather gentle and understated. Some washy lemons in there, nothing too exciting but still competent.
