RBESG Sheffield 2009, day 3, The Angel Pub, Manchester. Cask. Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma of sweet fruits, some malts. Flavour is sweet, fruity, bit of grapes, light bitter finish.

Bright blond colour. This is indeed light and easy to drink. Quite fruity with some hints of orange and peach. Dry, slightly bitter finish.

UPDATED: MAY 20, 2010 1. Cask Handpump at the Angel, Manchester 18/07/2009 Some hop aroma. Clear golden coloured and hoppy with a little passion fruit flavour. Crisp slightly dry and bitter in the finish. 2. Cask Handpump at the Brewery Tap, Dunham Massey 20/03/2010 Hoppy aroma. Small white head. Light golden coloured and a little hazy in appearance. Hoppy and fruity with a hint of dryness in a crisp and bitter malt finish.

Cask @ the Angel Pub Manchester. And the streak of mediocre bitter continues :D Amber color, some grapefruit, moderate hoppy.One dimensional and boring.

[cask @ RBESG 2009] Rubbery smoke aroma (yeast autolysis?). Almost clear yellow under a thick, white blanket. Weak grainy flavour that is thin, with low bitterness. Watery mineral water and funky. Light body, low carbonation, very slightly bitter finish.

[RBESG, Sheffield]
Cask @ The Angel, Manchester.
Pours clear golden with a nice, creamy, white head. Light grainy, light citric aroma. Medium carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Sweet grainy flavour, light grassy hops. Fairly drinkable.

Cask in the angel, manchester. Alround rating: Pale malts, dusty yeasty character, citrus hop, but a note of plastic owns it.

Cask @ the Angel Pub Manchester. Malty flowery, slightly medecinal aroma. Malty flowery cookie flavor.

Ok... in a departure from normal rating... due to the INCREDIBLY high number of BLOND ales during the Shefiled trip that all blended into one another im breaking them down into three catagories

Catagory A : Golden Yellow ... light fruity lemon hop nose ... soft dull light lemon hop

Catagory B : Amber ... light dry lemon hop ... soft light lemon hop with a little malt in background

Catagory C : Amber ... soapy lemon nose ... light brigh lemon hop

Catagory D : Amber ... light grassy lemon hop ... dry grassy lemon hop

Catagory E : Amber ... light grapefruit hop ... again light hop with a little grapefruit

This is a Catagory E
