Cask (handpump) at Brodies Bunny Basher Festival at King William IV, Leyton on 1 May 2011. Dark chestnut colour. Some chocolate. Dryish. A bit of berry fruit and a hint of nut. Light earthy hop. I suppose you would expect a St George’s Day beer to be quite traditional in style and so it. Decently balanced and drinkable, if not the most exciting beer on offer.

1st May 2011
At the brewpub in Leyton. Clear brown beer, small pale tane head. Light dry palate. Good robust malt without it ever being a dull malty beer. Some mildly fruity hop coming through. Ends semi dry with a some mild coffee and hop bitterness, Went down easy!

Cask handpull at William IV Leyton. Very deep chestnut with lasting beige head. Choccy malty. Decent dry malt best bitter. Best bitter brown ale. Ok.

cask - Pours ruby red with a small, lasting head. The aroma is of caramel malt, as is the flavor. It’s very sweet with tons of caramel. Too sweet. Drinkable but underwhelming.
