Cask. Clear dark orangey brown with a rough, off-white head leaving a neat lacework. Lightly flowery hops in the nose. Medium body, low in carbonation, sweet fruits and nutty accents with an edge of dried fruits and brown sugar as well. Decently hopped. 150110

Cask handpull at The Wellie, Brum. Tawny red amber with a off white veil. Berry aroma inc strawberry. Oily hop, berries, faint orange and grapefruit hop, biscuit. Bitterness builds in the finish, but overall quite thin and forgettable: misses Beowulf’s signature fatness and biscuit. solid, but a little disappointing.

A Mes rate: Cask at the Wenlock.
Rich dark amber with a thin white head and a lot of lace. Malt driven aroma with some light hoppage in the background. The hops are more upfront in the flavour and balances out pretty well with the malt. The sweetness in the aroma has gone. Bitterish finish. Not much else happening sadly.

Cask Handpump at the Beer House, Manchester 11/12/2001 Dark brown coloured and strong in alcohol. Slightly fruity flavour. Very bitter finish.

Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Nice glazed hops, with a hint of sugary apple pie. Thick mouthfeel and flavour that glides down the throat. Most likely a Golden, but does have some ESB treacliness. One of their better efforts!
