COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Special (Gold Medal Ale series) - April 2007.

Lirpa Loof (April Fool backwards) is probably down to Charles IV of France, who, in 1564 declared that January 1st would be the start of the new year. Prior to that the new year started at the spring equinox and was celebrated from March 25th to April 2nd. Some people were slow to catch up with the change and some even resisted, so they became the butt of jokes and pranks from the more progressive up-to-date citizens. If the truth were known the fools were the ones that didn’t celebrate the new year twice.

Colour: Pale
Nose: Citric aroma
Taste: Lingering bitterness
Hops Sovereign & Challenger

I think this wasnt in the best condition either, over vented or else just on too long. Sweet in aroma and taste, biscuity, toffee, caramel, thier yeast character doesnt do them any favours in this beer.

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Golden with a small white head. Slight hoppy aroma. While not particularly tasty, this is a very satisfying fruit, hop and spiciness combination: very refreshing on a warm spring afternoon.
