Humpty Dumpty Reedcutter

Cask conditioned at Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Pale amber with slight head. A little too laid back, it’s just a slightly grainy, fruity, apricot but thin beer with a touch of fructose in the close. Bland and yes uninspiring.

Cask at FFTMC Autumn Beer Festival, Oxford 24-09-09 Pours light amber/warm gold with a white filmy head. The aroma is sadly lacking. Taste is tangy but with some metallic edges, touch of sweetness and a bit of dryness at end. Nothing wrong with this beer but the third rather uninspiring beer I’ve had this evening.

Bottled. A hazy dark golden beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt and fruit. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and fruit, but also an acidic edge, leading to a dry bitter finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

Bottle from Arden Wines. Orange witbier murk with a white film and no fizz. Childhood flashback aroma of banana-flavoured antibiotics, opening up into orange peel, apple yeastiness, pine. Pondwater murk thick with bits: not entirely my fault. Earthy dull mouth glutted with yeast, uninteresting misty spruce, almond, shampoo gulps, compensating malted milk afters. Condition sloppy to dead. Some more lurking banana there. Not worth finishing.

Bottled@Monks Café, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruits, hops, some notes of slight acidicness. Flavour is bready, yeasty, hoppy and also fruity and flowery hoppy.
