Cask Handpump at the Ship & Mitre, Liverpool 08/04/2004 Golden coloured and hoppy. Slightly dry crisp malt finish.

Cask, The Barge, Gillingham. Like Flagship, this brewery only uses Maris Otter barley from Warminster Maltings. And like Flagship, the result is an over malty sweetness. A very unbalanced and quite awful beer. There is huge sulphur on the nose - a massive and continuous belch of rotten eggs. If they intended to re-create a Burton beer they seriously overdid the calcium sulphate. The sweet malt tastes caramelised, though not by direct fire, but probably by handfuls of brown sugar. There is a vague finish, slightly cloying. A confused and poorly made beer.
