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

Clear medium amber yellow colour with a small to average, frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted - caraeml, sour apples. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. IMO a bit borring ! Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat. [20110428]

Cask (gravity dispense) at Reading Beer Festival on 28 April 2011. Another middle of the road Royal Wedding beer. Nothing particularly wrong with it, just that most of the Royal Wedding specials I’ve tried have been traditional standard brown bitters and not really very special at all. Although I guess the desire to do something traditional is understandable. This one is in the same vein, although relatively pale for a bitter - clean, clear, dark gold colour with moderate condition. Otherwise it has biscuity malt and some tart, tangy hops. Maybe a hint of citrus. Perfectly acceptable, just not particularly exciting.

On cask, gravity at Banbury Beer Festival, 07.05.11 Golden in colour this is just a simple refreshing session bitter, the sort of thing that Chiltern excel at. Touch biscuity at times with a hint of vanilla in the background, its smooth, lightly fruity and very decent. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov12 3.3

Cask conditioned at Banbury Beer fest ’11. Gold with white head. Simple, light golden bitter, all underplayed, moderate malt notes perhaps a tad grainy with a light sweetish note. Simple hopping. Reasonable.

[Cask at Reading beerfest] Thought I’d best try at least one Royal Wedding beer! Gold/amber, moderate white head. Dry, hoppy straw with a little lemon behind. Pleasant start to the festival; another decent one-off from Chiltern.
