Cask conditioned @ South Western Arms Beer Festival. Thin with plenty of caramel. One dinmensional and that side isnt particularly great.

Cask. A golden beer with no head. The aroma is dominated by malt. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of malt as well as light notes of straw, leading to a bitter finish.

Clear medium yellow orange color with a small, fizzy to frothy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white to off-white head. Aroma is light moderate malty, toasted, molasses, fruity. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is medium to light, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [20100120]

Cask Stillage at NWAF The Venue, Miles Platting 20/01/2010 Floral aroma. Golden coloured hoppy and smooth on the palate with a slightly dry and creamy full malt finish.

The seasonal on tap in early April 2007, Ape and Apple, Manchester. Williamette hops, the pump clip says. Lovely aroma and flavour, roses, dust. Bitter tail. Their best beer by a mile!

Britannia, Rochester. A sweet and nutty ale with minimal hop awareness. If Holts was in Scotland this would be called a Scottish Ale. If it was from the North East it would be called a Brown Ale. Coming from Manchester its a roastier and sweeter than average Best bitter.

Bland pale golden brew with some sweetish grains and a hint of grassy hops. Typical regional seasonal. (Cask at Crown & Anchor, Manchester)
