UPDATED: AUG 12, 2007 Cask conditioned - handpump - Victoria Rugby. A golden coloured beer with a whitish head and lacing. The aroma is well balanced with good citric hop flavours and nice malts. The taste is the same and the extra body provided by the alcohol is more than welcome. A nice tasty beer with a good long finish. (7,3,8,4,15(3.7))

Re-rate at GBBF2007

Again nice and hoppy. Citrus fruitiness. Subtle and flavoursome. Not as good as the first time but I wouldn’t expect it to be. (8,3,7,3,14(3.5))
Average score given.

Cask@St Albans BF. pale gold colour. Nice dusty, earthy flavours and mouthfeel, with some green, bitter, earthy hops notes. Finish is leafy and citric. Quite nice.

Cask (gravity dispense) at St Albans Beer Festival 2006. 5.0% according to the festival programme, 5.2% on the brewery website. Definitely golden, with a light haze, but not particularly aromatic for the style. Not hard to establish what the hops used are from the commercial description, but the Cascade doesn’t make a huge impression. There’s certainly some spicy hop character, but its not dominant. There’s a quite grainy impression and plenty of body to offset the hops. The mouthfeel is clean and mellow. Overall, a pleasant and well-tempered beer.
