Martin the Mildman		07 May 2011	Amber mild despite the pumpclip saying Original Bitter. Formerly known as Light, this is low hopped with a little biscuity malt. The finish is fairly dry with some fruit. My score 15/20.

Wittenden		21 Mar 2009	Is it a light mild, is it a bitter?I dunno, but I enjoyed it, and could well have made it a session.An initial pronounced hop effect, which rapidly was replaced by a mellow fruitiness. Mid brown . Yes, I suppose I could place it alongside Courage's PBA, drunk in this very pub too many years ago.
