Bottle. Yellow with some bitterness.Reasonable body but not one of their best

BCA. Opaque orange colour with a decent off-white head. Aroma of grassy hops and some chunky malt. The flavour had some more malt balanced by some earthy, orange hops. A drinkable session beer.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Thanks to geth_in_beer for this one. Golden-orange beer with a thin white head. Aroma is lightly herbal, a bit grassy. Light citrus rind as well. Warming brings out very light straw like malts. A bit of light caramel and honey. Thin palate and moderate bitterness. Decent enough but I sense that the hop flavour has headed south. It’s still a refreshing pint.
2.9 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Cambridge Fest. A solid, old fashioned session bitter with woody notes and a healthy English hop smack. Dirty crystal malt taste adds interest.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Fresh citrus aroma. Quite carbonated. Slightly cloudy appearance with a thin head. Murky orange in colour. Refreshing beer, citrus fruits with a hint of honey. Good fresh finish. Inspired me to visit all 3 castles the beer is about, the day was good, just like the beer.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled (thanks omhper). Hazy amberish golden colour with mediumsized white head. Aroma is flowery hops, caramel and a bit more hops. Flavour is dry grassy hops with some hayish notes. Dry, semibitter. Still feels a bit empty in flavour.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(Bottle, thanks omhper) Pours amber with a big whith head. Bready malt and light floral, grassy, hay-ish hos in aroma with notes of plums. Clean, good malt flavour with floral and hay-ish notes. Light dry and bitter. Light to medium body.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottled. Dark amber. Hay aroma, Medium dry with clean mouthfeel. Lots of hay-like hop resting on top a of a light body with some nice chewy malt. The malt character is really something extra, and the hops adds further pleasure. Finieshes with medium bitterness. Recommended!

BCA (From Southwick Brewhouse, BB Jan 07). A light lunchtime bitter with dusty hops and a light caramel edge to the malts. Quite pleasant and pretty good for a low abv bottle conditioned beer. My only complaint would be the slight hints of malty toastiness which were a little intrusive at times.
