3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask but iv no idea where from. Alround rating: Irn bru, buttery, soft, fruity, very strange ale, but still quite drinkable.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge. Golden amber with a thin white head; toasted malt aroma; light and peppery flavour with some caramel; gentle but sustained bitter finish.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask conditioned at The Old Bridge Hotel, Huntingford, Cambs. Gold with white head. I had a strange nutty flavour from this, almost almond in character with a dry, bitter hoppy flavour towards the end, certainly a fuller flavour than most Golden Ales. Pretty reasonable.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask gravity at Battersea BF 09. Gold, bubbly beige head. Quite a decent stoney, fruit salad beer, quite minerally. Bit of caranel, quite decent.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
cask @ the rake. Dark amber, little head good lace. Nice hoppy nose, quite sweet with a little sour barley. Very dry hoppy flavour, strong citric hop nicely balanced with a dollop of caramel. good summer drink, very quaffable.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Northamptonshire BF. A golden coloured beer with a nice loose white head. The aroma is nicely hoppy with a little sweetness. Big bitter hop in the taste and a really big body for a 3.8%er. A very tasty well brewed beer as expected from Buntingford.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Very dry, straw coloured citrus hopped bitter; lovely summertime sessioner that quenches the thirst nicely.
Sampled at the Coalheaver’s Arms Beer Festival, Peterborough May 2008
