Cask (handpump) @ The 17th Reading Beer and Cider Festival 2011, Reading, Berkshire England.

Clear medium orange amber colour with a small to average, frothy to fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted - caramel, acidic - sour malt, vomit. Flavor is moderate sweet, light acidic and bitter with a average to long duration, fruity, caramel. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [20110427]

Cask@Welsh Beer & Cider Festival 2011. Deep ambery golden colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is fruits, caramel, some floral notes as well as mild nuttyness. Flavour is tropical fruits, some mild toasted notes as well as nutty, floral and resiny notes. Balanced and very pleasant to drink.

Cask conditioned at The Anchor, Birmingham. Amber with white head. Bready, doughy beer with a pretty wierd medicinal, cough sweet flavour. Somewhat fruity and flowery. I struggled just a little with this.

Cask (gravity dispense) at Reading Beer Festival on 27 April 2011. Darkish amber colour. After having concentrated on the bigger IPAs and Stouts at this first session of the festival (didn’t want them to run out before I got to them), I suppose it’s not too surprising that this beer, which is in a much more traditional UK vein, should come across as rather prosaic, even mundane. But it’s a pretty decent best bitter with a solid mix of dryish, slightly biscuity, malts and tangy, vaguely citric hops Entirely fit for purpose, just not as attention-grabbing as what had gone before.
