Cask conditioned - handpump - Coach And Horses - Wellingborough. A copper coloured beer with an off-white head. The aroma has sulphuric notes. Quite fruity and burtonic bitterness in the taste. Pretty acceptable although not a patch on when it won CBOB.

Cask at Bull’s Head, Monyash, Derbyshire. Orange amber with a large white head. Sweet aroma. Malty taste with a grassy hoppiness. Enjoyed this outside in the sunshine which is rare this year in the UK.

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: MAR 22, 2005
Sept, 2002 Cask. A very pleasant, nicely balanced beer; but it lacks the characteristic puff of sulphur that used to make it such a memorable drink. [2.9]
Summer, 1977: Pub, Ladbroke Grove. I remember this very clearly. I remember the sulphur - and the drinkability - and the fact that it seemed such a savoury beer. The pub was opposite the wine store where I worked, so I would often come in here after work for a pint. [3.4]

[Cask conditioned] A quite good brew even though it's a Carlsberg. It has a nice hoppy aroma and a mild hoppy flavour.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask Conditioned at The Rose & Crown, Oxford. Amber beer with foamy head. Archetypal Burton Bitter with sulphery nose and thick malt and hop balance. Probably lost a good deal of its best character on its constant moves from brewery to brewery but is still a good standby.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Cask)Really floral fruityness, sweet (and yes, jammy), with a medium bitter finish. Some nice caramelly malt. Pretty decent, tasted very fresh to me.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nicely light textured, fruity and moderately bitter pale ale. Leaves thick coating of strawberry jam in the front of yer mouth. Bit of sulfurous pong. It’s nothing special, but definitely a better option than Tetley or Carlsberg Export (bleagh). Nobbad for a macrobitter.
