A seasonal beer from GK brewed for the cricket season.
I can best describe this beer as "Greene King" and most UK BAs would grasp exactly what I mean. A perfectly soundly brewed beer but simply doesn't go down singing hymns.One mouthful and you know precisely where it was brewed.
First impressions were of quite a rich malty flavour offset by gentle hopping but the richness seemed to fade a little down the pint. I did though have a second pint which puts things into perspective.

Clear 500ml bottle, LBW stands for 'Leg Before Wicket', a cricketing term used throughout the world except America. As I start this review the England cricket team are playing in South Africa and appear to be winning.
Made with Challenger and First Gold hops using Pale and Crystal malts.
Poured into an 'Old Speckled Hen' vase shaped pint glass. The beer is a good amber/cricket ball red colour, the head creamy in colour and texture. The head sadly, soon turned into a thin covering and then just a collar.
The aroma was weak, hops and some malts could be detected, but not a great amount.
The taste is more malty than hoppy, pleasant and drinkable without setting anything on fire. Medium body depth and feel, a typical English Pale Ale to be honest.
