I was on my way to the Waggon & Horses at Great Yeldham, and this was in my 2006 Good Beer Guide so I thought that I would stop for a half on my way through.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Mighty Oak - Maldon Gold3.80ExcellentPale gold colour with thin white head. Sherberty floral hop aroma. Nice enough in mouth before sherberty distinctive hop kicks in. Very effervescent tingle on tongue lasts forever. Sweetish sherbert, but really good golden beer.
Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%)3.40Not Tried
