Joeh (1892), Buckinghamshire, England May 1, 2006 Cask Conditioned at Reading BF 2006. Copper coloured. Malty and very hoppy bitter. Slightly fruity and a flowery hop aftertaste. kook (2035), Perth, Western Australia, Australia Oct 24, 2005 Cask @ St Albans 05: Nice ruby with a beige head. Malty caramel nose. Bit bland, roast and caramel but drinkable. duff (5404), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Oct 18, 2005 Cask@St Albans Beer Festival. Sweetish flat, toasty crystal malt type character. Caramelly, some raisin, lemony finish. Not quite all there for me. chris_o (4405), London, Greater London, England Oct 16, 2005 Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival 2005. Chestnut brown colour - rather dark for a bitter. Caramel, dark malt and nuts, with some decent balalncing hop bitterness. An unusual best bitter - full bodied and very tasty. Showed very well despite imperfect condition.
maeib (3917), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Oct 3, 2005 Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - St Albans BF - A mid brown beer with a fruity malty raisin aroma but also a little sulphur. The taste has fruity malts but again is tainted, like so many beers at this festival by a little fartiness. Shame as Cheriton is top.
