Cask at the Bell, Leominster, Herefordshire on 6th April 2013. Slightly hazy gold with thin white head. Cheesy yeasty aroma. Sweet fruits and malts in-mouth with citric tang. Bittersweet finish with developing sharp bitter note.

On cask at The Fox, Chetwynd Aston. Pours golden amber, white head. A hint of caramel, slightly astringent. An average bitter. Disappointing as other Three Tuns ales have been very good.

12th May 2012 saw me on a pub crawl of Shrewsbury: First up was the ‘Castle Vaults’ and a hand pulled pint of this. Golden body, bright and clean looking: small white head. Nose of woody, earthy, nuttiness: with a hint of malty molasses. More malts in the taste than the smell: easy blend of flavours, fruitier than the aroma too, with a semi-bitter finish. I like Three Tuns brews in general and this is no exception.

Cask at the GBBF 2011. Golden with a small white head. Fruity aroma with grassy hops and grainy malts. Sweetish grain dominated flavour

Cask at GBBF 2011, Day 2. Pours clear, yellow-gold with a light film for a head. Wet hay and cereal aroma. Light sweet flavor, tangy grains. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Some wood, hard hops, grain and grass to finish. Not too bad.

Clear medium orange colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white to white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted - caramel, fruity, light hoppy, citrus notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20110803]

Cask (GBBF2011, Wed)
Bright gold. Mellow honey aroma, but a bit boring. Taste is tangy citrus hops and some light malts that stay in the finish. Not exciting, but certainly not bad. Nice bitterness in the finish.

Cask @ GBBF, 2011. Pours clear golden with a small white head and lacings. Grain, hay and floral hop notes. Thin with a bit of spices.

Cask at GBBF 2011, Wednesday. Clear golden - white head. Nice bitterness, high fruity, lovely hoppy, mild malty, high bitterness, light malty sweetness. Pleasant.
