Brown 500ml bottle, best before 26 Sept 09, drank 22 Apr 09. Poured (twice) into a La Chuoffe stemmed tulip shaped glass.
Mid amber, typical modern British Bitter look to it, clear, clean and bright. Sadly the head fell away on both pours very swiftly, leaving only a collar and small wispy scum on the beer.
Very hard to find any aroma, a little floral sweetness maybe, but no yeast, hops or malts came to my nose.
The taste was fairly non-discript too, obviously a Bitter, but lacking in depth and flavours for a commemorative brew in my opinion. There is a malt presence in the aftertaste, but not enough to excite me, or want me to rush out and buy a crate of this beer.
Was expecting more from a well thought of brewery, nothing wrong with it, just a bit bland and so, so.

This is a commemorative brew available on cask and in bottles for a limited time. From their site: "This year is the 30th Anniversary of the founding of RINGWOOD BREWERY and in celebration of this milestone, we have brewed a commemorative beer for the spring season. Seventy Eight is a golden, refreshing beer with fruity, spicy flavours. With an abv of 4.2%, Seventy Eight is brewed using Maris Otter barley and infused with Sovereign and Goldings hops to give it a distinctive, hoppy finish."
I just tried it at The Porterhouse in Westbourne, but I didn't have paper and a pen with me so I couldn't do my usual kind of review. However, it was such a good beer that I just had to at least rate it. Very scrumptious and SO drinkable. Fresh and crisp with honeydew melon fruity notes and a leafy, mild hop bitterness. Looks great in a pint glass, too. Sparkly gold with bubbly lace trailing down the glass as you drink it. Top notch commemorative brew! Here's to hoping they make it a regular part of their line-up.
