At OG 1046 and ABV 4.8%, the beer is traditionally brewed using only the finest quality of water, barley and rye malts, whole hops and the brewery's own top-fermenting yeast. The colour is deep amber with a red hue derived from the Head Brewer's unique composition of ingredients. The taste is deliciously fruity and malty with a lingering bitter aftertaste.
This fine beer is brewed to celebrate the approval in November 2003 for the reintroduction of the Great Bustard bird onto the Salisbury Plain and a 5p donation is being made to the Great Bustard Group for every pint sold.

[1] Review by oh6gdx from Vaasa, Finland who has tried this beer once. (1/25/2006 3:15:54 PM)
"Amber coloured, mediumsized head. Aroma is honeyish, hoppy, a bit flowery and caramellish. Flavour is caramellish, hoppy and fruity. Also some milder spices can be noted. Long smooth aftertaste. One of the best cask ales I’ve had so far. "

[2] Review by jonmoore from United Kingdom who has tried this beer once. (1/11/2006 4:35:11 PM)
"Bottle. Dark amber coloured with a slim off-white head. Aroma has fruit, malt and hops. Flavours are sweet, malty and caramel followed by quite a strong hoppy finish. Well balanced, with a medium to full, smooth mouthfeel. Very good."
