One more on the unstopable Durham’s beers parade. IT was a little more dark than most of them. But it was the same taste, a little more strong in flavor, less squashy.

Grassy hops dominate aroma. Taste is bittering and grassy hops, with maybe some lemon. Nice.

Cask (handpulled) at the Royal Oak, Ockbrook, Derby. Light going for a Durham brew, tasty too, balanced dryness that passes my Thursday Fish n Chip Beer Compatability test with flying colours.

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2004] A yellow beer with no head. The aroma is malty combined with loads of hops, while the flavor is sweet malty with a hoppy bitter end.

[Cask conditioned] Golden coloured. Very hoppy aroma. Refreshingly hoppy and bitter flavour. Very nice.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Golden brew with a subtle hop nose. The flavour is strange - lots of malt and almost Belgian candy sugar! Hops are European and stay strong yet mellow to the developing bitter finish with more maltiness. (Cask @ Marble Arch, Manchester)
