On cask at Duke’s Brew & Que. Hazy amber. Caramel and mild citrus. Well-balanced, some sweetness. Quite nice.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Golden and slightly cloudy. Medium head with some sweetness that lingers. Quite pleasant and distinctive considering that some bitters
tend to be quite bland.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
I read that this was not being bottled anymore (see above) so when Cotteridge Wines said they had a couple left in the chiller I thought I’d grab one. I’d had it before in Cherry Reds, pre RB days, with Bish. Beavertown have certainly upped their game recently but this is perfectly good for a Saturday afternoon. Crisp and bitter. Decent session beer with a great name and a sense of history.

Cask at Craft Beer Co, Islington on 7th December 2012. Copper with quick-to-die head and spot lace. Spicy and fruity aroma. Sweetish blend of fruits and spices in-mouth, and a tangy finish. Zingy mouthfeel.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Cotteridge Wines; first Beavertown brew I’ve tried and it is a quality ale a bit hoppy not to bitter. Would have again.
