3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask at the Pembury Tavern, London - shared with Jack. Pours clear amber with a fine, white cream head. Light bready malt nose. Sugary malt flavor, some bread. Lightly syrupy, but not to great detriment. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet finish with further bready malts, mellow bitterness. Simple, fine.

Cask @ The Pembury Tavern. The pour’s deep chestnut color with a small off-white head. The aroma’s rich malts. Some wood, cherry jam, caramel, light spruce and general spices. The taste is more rich berries. Caramel-dipped wood. Spiced chocolate. Smooth body. Overall, not bad! My rating doesn’t seem to reflect the general description of the beer. Maybe the Pembury mislabeled this...flagged for rerate.

A reasonable summer ale, low carbonation for a bottle conditioned beer, mild hoppy flavour drinking below its 5.5% ABV.

Strong golden ale with little to no hoppiness. Thin to mid body and more of a caramel gold. Ok.

Bottle from alesbymail.com A light golden coloured pour with a small white head on top. Citrus fruit aroma. Tastes of citrus fruit, a little thin, slight sourness. No hops detected whatsoever. BBE Nov 2011 but it definitely tasted acidic.

(Cask at Southampton Arms) Even this is quite mild beer there was alcohol notes in the aroma. in addition to malts and bitterness there were light citric notes in the taste. Perhaps this was a bit too unbalanced for this kind of beer.

Cask - The Fat Cat, Norwich. Poured a golden orange with a lasting, puffy, medium-sized white head. Sweet cookie, caramel malt aromas with hints of citrus in the back. Upfront toffee apple sweetness with a light lemony tang finishing on a dry, bitter marmalade note. Medium in body with soft carbonation.

Cask gravity at Bedford BF ’09. Getting close to the bottom of the barrel. Dark gold with a small white head. Very faint malt aroma. Sweet maltiness in the taste. Some bitterness. All a bit vague. Needs to sit for a few minutes. Yes, a satisfying orange marmalade tang develops.
