wildebeest (13), Greater London, England Jan 28, 2008 Cask at The Eagle, Ravenscourt Park. A lot more golden coloured than I expected, very sweet and a reasonable amount of bittering hops, although not particularly well balanced. A strong citric aftertaste was a little off putting after a couple. berkshirejohn (1759), Bracknell, Berkshire, England Jan 18, 2008 Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Cloudy amber with a white head; grapefruit aroma, and grapefruit flavour; slightly sweet with a sustained bitter finish. Not complex but a good pint. Joeh (1908), Buckinghamshire, England Jan 16, 2008 Cask conditioned at Wetherspoons, High Wycombe. A sweet, malty bitter with little bitterness and a somewhat citric freshness to it. The sweetness is typical Titanic but a good beer all the same. hughie (3016), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Jan 13, 2008 Updated: Feb 27, 2008Cask at ’Spoons, Milton Keynes. Gold with a white head. Floral hoppy aroma with a later hint of malt. Fresh rather summery taste with a little sweetness, some citric fruitiness and a sharp bitter finish. Pretty good. 27.2.08 Same place. Noted a tinned mandarin orange aroma. Rated 5,4,7,4,13:3.3 MesandSim (5790), London, Greater London, England Jan 13, 2008 A Mes rate: Cask at Baker Street ’Sporks. Slightly hazy amber with a decent white head and lace. Hoppy aroma with wheat straw and some lemon. Odd meaty sanwich note in the flavour that I’m really not sure about. Bitterish finish with some malt but no real balance. Lots of wheat and straw. A little sticky. Not my thing. Fin (3382), Merton, Oxfordshire, England Jan 13, 2008 Cask at the Penny Black, JDW, Bicester, Oxon 12-01-08 Mid golden, with the merest of a haze, an aromatic beer, florally hops, honey in the mouth, but there is a nice citrusy underbelly to this beer. A really very good drop indeed. jammin7jg (139), Withington, Manchester, England May 6, 2007 [CASK: The Lass-O-Gowry, Manchester 28/01/07] A very good ale and one that is making me pleased with what Titanic brewery has to offer. A nice seasonal ale for the new year and delicious. Make sure you try if you can.
