Cask gravity, Nottingham 09. Thinly lidded amber gold. Good lemon and orange musky hop aroma, caramel and honey dabs. Leafy orange and passion fruit hop, biscuit, hint of pineapple. Nowt Speciale about it really. Wheat sweetness, Rich Tea, dab of apple fruit. Prefer the standard GB.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tasted from bottle on the other side of the earth. Clear golden colour. Quite large bubbles and a sparkling white head. Scents rather than smells here. Golden, cool and zesty aromas. Mature Meyer lemon juice and light biscuity qualities. Full, creamy mouthfeel evident at first and then a cascade of lemon meringue. Light in character, but generous flavours. A rather pleasant pint and I’m relieved to report that this beer travelled well.

Bottle that dad picked up, shared with him, 07.08.10 Pours gold with a white head, some grapefruit lingering on an otherwise quite sweetish nose. Full flavoured with citrus showing but as pleasant as it is, I’m finding this a little too sweet for me and lacking in a substantial bitter bite. A6 A4 T7 P3 Ov13 3.3

Cask Stillage from the Festival Bar at the Old Hall Hotel, Buxton 21/11/2009
Fruit and hop aromas. Golden coloured strong in alcohol fruity and hoppy with a grapefruit flavour. A little dryness in a crisp and bitter malt finish.
