Cask handpull at The Old Buttermarket Canterbury. I needed some thing to take the taste away of some crap Spoons fest veers. Its an ok light golden bitter with some interesting pale malt and an interesting dark fruit aroma and flavour. Like blackcurrant maybe. So could be willamette hops or similar. Ok

Cask at GBBF 2011. Amber with a small white head. Malty aroma with biscuit notes, a grassy touch and a hint of sulphur. Dry and biscuit malty flavour with a spicy hoppy touch
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask conditioned at The Kildare Hotel, Minehead, Somerset. Amber with white head. Sweetish with toffee malts and a flowery, reasonably hoppy character. Perhaps a touch cloying with the sweetness, but just enough hoppiness to keep it interesting. It’s ok.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask conditioned handpump Althorp Coaching Inn Great Brington 04/01/13. A brown beer with an off-white head. Gentle orangey hoppy flavours are very palateable. The nose is yeasty and dulkl and gives no suggestion of the decent hops which are to follow. A drinkable fairly weak bitter.

Cask (GBBF2011, Wed)
Eggy bitter aroma. Simple bitter taste. Sweet and boring. Strange that the commercial description mentions brewing flaws so proudly, but maybe that explains why they didn’t end up with a great beer.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask gravity at The Bastille Day Beer Festival, Horse & Groom, Caulcott, Oxon, Friday 13th July 2012 Pours amber, reasonable clarity. Described as Peach and Apricot notes, I’m afraid that these particular desciptions have rather passed me by. Little bit dry, some fruitiness. Touch bland but otherwise ok. A5 A3 T6 P3 Ov11 2.8
