Cask (gravity) @ 27th Pigs Ear Beer and Cider Festival 2010, at The Round Chapel in Hackney, London, England

Clear medium yellow orange colour with a small to average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted - roasted, fruity, light hoppy, fruity. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20101203]

Cask at The Vale Inn, Bollington. Clear amber gold with a thin white head. Another solid bitter from Bollington. Nice fruity hoppy flavour with a touch of vanilla and cream soda, hint of tobacco. Quite enjoyed this.

Bottle conditioned, 500ml from Favourite Beers, Cheltenham, Gloucs. Gold with white, full head. I was initially quite worried with this as there was a deposit around the neck ring and I wondered whether the cap was fully sealed, but I was soon put at ease. The beer is light and bright with a fresh, green hoppy note, freshly cut grass with lemonade came to mind. The malty body was crisp and biscuity. All in all a pretty pleasant BCA.

Pigs Ear. Clear amber beer with a residual white head. Light dry palate. Some dry orange hop, tangy minerals and only mild bitterness. Finishes dry. Okay.

Cask Stillage at the ABC Festival, Altrincham Market 31/08/2009 Pale hop aroma. Golden coloured fruity and hoppy with a crisp and slightly bitter lasting malt finish.
