Cask conditioned at Harbury Beer Fest ’09. Brown amber with no head. In a festival of great beer this was the stinker, there was a fusty, mouldy taste to it, tart and I poured it after a short while. yeeuk.

[Cask at the Bacchus Hotel, Sutton-on-Sea] Amber with a thick white head. Rich & fruity at first, but by the end it becomes herby and a little sour, with a moderate dirty bitterness. Not great.

Cask at Green Man, Stamford, Lincolnshire. Amber with a small white head. Grainy Ovaltine and breakfast cereal aroma. That’s not bad, but it’s the taste I don’t like. It’s rounded, leathery malt with a rather oppressive milky Horlicks taste. Some bitterness. The theme here is obviously proprietory bedtime drinks, and it clearly doesn’t work for me.

Bottle conditoned. Poured a mild brown colour with a medium white head. The beer has a real fruit aroma with a real taste that was very fruity with a hint of pears. The beer has a bitter hoppy aftertaste.
