AMes rate: Cask at the Wenlock.
Orange gold colour with no head or condition. Wheaty aroma with a bit of cereal. Dull dusty hop flavour with some wet, earthy malt. Rather rough and raw in the finish. Not great.

Jul 1, 2008 Cask at the Wenlock Arms, 19th April 2008, with Chris, Ian, Mes & the gang. Yellowy amber and rather flat. Smoke/ash malt aroma that carries over in the flavour. Could do with being livelier. I agree with Chris, one for a re-rate.

May 5, 2008 Cask (handpump) at the Wenlock Arms, April 2008. This was on the board as Cheltenham Festival amber but I guess it was really Festival Brewery (from Cheltenham) Amber - the ABV certainly matches. Using Festival as a brewery name could prove confusing, esp[ecially at festivals! Gold/amber colour. Thin & weak. The malt seemed very clammy/sweaty. Uninspiring. Not undrinkable but undoubtedly a disappointing effort although I have to say it didn’t seem to be in tip-top condition. Marked for re-rate.
