A lightly sour hint, with some citrus along with hop bitterness. has a thick, full bodied mouthful. decent beer

Nice malty roast aroma with a hippy hinds. Nice amber ruby colour small white head. Medium sweetness in the start and then medium bitterness in the end but nice and smooth. Nice slicky beer drinkable and warmy. Good stuff. Nifely drought in Red Lion Cambridge Cherry Hinton

Cask - The Murderers, Norwich. A deep chestnut brown coloured beer that poured with a fine, lacing bright white head with good retention. Tangy red fruit, caramel, a bit of boiled maltiness and touches of yeast on the nose with a delicate metallic note coming through at the back. Biscuit malts to the fore on the tongue with red fruits & a subtle hop & toasty, dryish bitterness. Lingering tang & biscuit finish. Light to medium body, soft mouthfeel. Doesn’t take my breath away but it’s fine; I can’t complain. A shame the biscuit character decreases working down the glass. The malts are OK and there’s some yeastiness in there too which suits it.

Cask by handpump at Oxford Bar, Edinburgh (2 Feb 12) - clear amber ale with creamy off white head, fruit and sweet caramel, slightly oily feel, very nice
