Cask Conditioned at The Brewery Tap, Peterborough, Cambs. Golden beer with chunky white head. The scene for this latest triumph in beer hunting was the enormous Brewery Tap for Oakham, which despite its size is comfortable and informal. A sudden spring shower beat against the windows and Bob Marley was doing his stuff on the tannoy. ’Do you feel love’ he sang and yes I felt loved by this tasty hoppy beauty. Hop sweet, fresh and dry with spicy grapefruit notes. This is a delicious beer in my book, lasting bitterness with a full body. And Bob wailed on in the background, sensational!!

Jul 9, 2008 Handpulled cask at the Crosse Keys(JDW), Monument, London during spoons autumn beer fest. I’d been looking forward to this one. A real hop beast expected and delivered. Amber, dark for an Oakham beer, with off-white head. Massive aroma of mixed hops. Glorious flavours of juicy malt and layers of resinous, citric hops. Heaven!

Nov 20, 2007 Counting house. As soon i saw this i knew i was in with a winner. Aroma is bursting with citrus grapefruity and mandarin zest, hints at pepperyness and biscuity malts. Taste is nearly an attack on the tougne to start with, zesty, bitter citrus goodness and a bit of pale malt character to help it along. There was small mhints of wetherspoons cellar in this, otherwise it would have got over a 4.

Nov 6, 2007 Cask conditioned @ Giddy Bridge (JDW), Soton. Lots of zingy grapefruit and tropical stuff. Dry crisp malts and refreshingly bitter.
