Commercial Description:
Cask, Seasonal, Spring;
The beer is a complex blend of fine pale malt combined with crystal malt, caramalt and a touch of chocolate malt, giving the beer a ruby colour. We have generously hopped it with 100% East Kent Goldings hops in the boil and at the finish, giving it loads of hoppy flavour and aroma. We are launching Bad Egg as a spring seasonal, but with the eggs-pectation that it might join our regular rotation. Rolling out a fine new best bitter, we encourage you to take a ride on the wild side. Look for Bad Egg at our launch at the Lord Nelson in Reedham on March 27th, and across East Anglia throughout the spring season.

Cask at the Derby Summer Beer Festival 2009. Very strong straw and hay aroma. The mouth feel is a bit think, almost gummy. The flavours are overwhelmingly hay with a bit of a sickly sweetness to it. With a name like bad egg, it’s hard not to describe this beer as tasting like a chicken coup. Absolutely bizare.

Cask conditioned handpump Kings Head Beccles An amber coloured beer with loose white bubbles. The aroma has a bit of fruit and a bit of dishwater. The taste is malty and fruity. A tad sweet. Unexciting but drinkable enough.

Cask conditioned at The Royal Blenheim, Oxford. Amber with white head. Good standard hoppy best bitter with a good dry flavour. Slight woody notes, nicely balanced with a slightly heavier palate. Good.
