Cask (gravity dispense) at Pigs Ear Beer Festival, 2 December 2009. Not one of the more assertive or exciting of the Mallinsons brews I’ve tried. Quite pale colour. Fair amount of citric hop and a robust bitterness. Not particularly aromatic. A decent session beer.

Cask, The Salmon, Leicester. Golden with a firm white foam. Aromas are biscuit, yeast and lemon with hints of pineapple and grapefruit. Floral and spicy with a light nuttiness. Flavours are dry biscuit malts with bitter lemon. Spicy and dry to finish. Simple yet effective.

Bottle at home. Gushed out of the bottle, murky yellow amber, thick bubbly white head. Nose is grassy hop, slight malt, and surprisingly a bit of lambic sourness?! Not sure if it’s meant to be there or not. Fizzy, tangy hop front, hint of bready malts, peppery dry finish. Not bad.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at home, bit of a gusher which was a surprise and I would think unusual. Nice, deep golden haze and, once the foam subsided, pleasant lacing. From the nose, the beer may be a bit old (didn’t specify on the bottle) as it seemed a little sour and tangy, almost lambic-like. Fine bubbled carbonation in the mouth. Tastes a bit tangy as well, but I’m not complaining! Touch of marmalade as well in there. If it’s meant to be like this, great, if not, I recommend ageing it for a bit!
